MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / September 2005RAM USAGE
Is there a diagnostic tool which I can use which will tell me what is running in the background that I don't need when my PC boots up? I seem to use a lot of RAM even when nothing is open. Also, I leave my PC on all the time. At regular intervals during the day & night my speakers make a double click noise followed by the Microsoft Exclamation sound. Has this anything to do with my Outlook e-mail account being set to automatic timed download? It seems that something is trying to run. In the task bar are Task Scheduler, ASUS enhanced functions, McAfee Viruschecker & Firewall, Messenger and Sony Phone Sync icons. > Is there a diagnostic tool which I can use which will tell me what is > running in the background that I don't need when my PC boots up?

SignatureBrian Tillman Windows 2000 (unless they shipped it with a SP) doesn't have it as far as I know but you could copy it from XP or Windows 98 and Windows 95 doesn't have it either but it was the 2000 I was referring to. >> This is dependant on the operating system > > Certainly, but it exists for all versions of Windows except for 3.1 and > NT, so it's not THAT O/S-dependent.
