Starting IE and Outlook Express
For several months now, when I click on the Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Microsoft Outlook Express icons down on the lower bar next to the start button, it takes approx. 5 minutes before they start. I was told back then to clean my disk and defrag. I done that then and again today. I still have the same problem. I am running Windows XP with McAfee SecurityCenter and Webshots. Gotten from System Information was, XP Professional version 2002 5.1.2600 service pack 2. Pentium !!! Intel. Total physical memory 256 MB. Available physical memory 48.39 MB. My disk capacity is 12.63. I have 4.24 space free which is 33%. CTRL ALT DELETE brings up windows task manager. Some of the users are; Imagename Mem Usage MpCmdRun.exe 2,748 MSKSRVR.exe 6,512 Msdtc.exe 1,380 alg.exe 548 dllhost.exe 2,488 taskmgr.exe 4,940 mcshield 10,424 svchost.exe 8,188 MsMpEng.exe 10,470 CSRSS.exe 1,400 There is a total of 41 Imagename shows up and all are using some memory. Could this be my problem (too many things running in background)or dose anybody have any ideals? Thanks |

Are you saying that Windows Defender and/or McAfee is slowing down my
responce time, when I try to start Microsoft IE and Microsoft Outlook Express? And should I remove it. I see Windows ahve a anti software out now called Windows Live. Hows it? My Windows Defender is Beta 2. Definition version 1.14.1736.7. These are the newsgroups that I thought might have someone who could help me. I didn't know I couldn't post to more than one newsgroup.

I see Wal-Mart has a box version of Windows Live 8-1. Is this all final
versions, not Beta? Can I uninstall McAfee, thru Add or Remove Programs, completely and then install Windows Live. My subscription to McAfee just expired last week and they want $60 to upgrade. Windows Live 8-1 in Wal-Mart wants $39. I'm thinking a Windows product running on Windows XP is a sure thing???? Thanks "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Rick" wrote in message ...

Not sure what you mean by Windows Live 8.1 - There are a whole bunch of things with Windows Live as part of their name, none of which I have much faith in. There are two free anti-virus programs that I like, Avast (www.grisoft.com) and Avast (www.avast.com). I use AVG on most of my computers. For anti-spyware I think I can recommend Windows Defender from Microsoft, but no anti-spyware program catches everything. Personally, I think that the Windows Firewall in WinXP SP2 is just fine. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |

I meant Windows Live OneCare. Its in the stores in box form. Wouldn't it
work with Windows XP better than McAfee? Thanks "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ... "Rick" wrote in message ... I see Wal-Mart has a box version of Windows Live 8-1.

Anything is better than McAfee except Norton (Symantec).

Just a thought here....Increase your page file size and maybe add some more
RAM. If you have a large amount of programs running and judging from your posted threads you do, your problem maybe a RAM issue and not a program problem.
