Good lord Milt, no wonder things are so slow!!!??? The idea behind Process Explorer is to let you see the things you can not see with Task Manager such as what those things named "svchost.exe are doing, how many copies of Chrome are actually running and are any of them running other programs? The idea is to look at what is running, then search the net and find one of the several sites that explain things and stop the ones you do not need. P-E also lets you kill things that Task Manager will not......

Maybe if you posted a screen shot of the stuff showing up in Task Manager we could help a bit better? Hummmmm
