Something is ALWAYS running, and I don't know how to find what it is.

Its your computer! You should shut it down! :tongue:

But seriously, do you mean when you start windows, programs starting that you dont want? Can you be a bit more detailed please?

 

[sbaldwin]

I've shut it down SEVERAL times! I can HEAR something running, and when I try to do scan disk, it tells to shut down all programs that are running...but I don't know what they are!

What do you mean you can HEAR stuff running? Are you talking about software or hardware you want shut down?

It its software, then control/alt/delete, and end all running programs from the running programs list. Depending what version of windows you have.

To find out whats currently running on your system goto Start> Run> and type taskman.exe

It will bring up a box listing all currently running programs on your computer, but be careful what you stop, especially in M.E. if you breath of that OS wrong it will crash.
