[QUOTE="tsuke, post: 550491, member: 42481"] Hello, I've posted before and it was recommended that I look at Activity Manager. 1. I can manually close some random processes now, but how do I make it so they do not turn on automatically? ex: my printer has a processor running, my camera ( external ) has a program running etc etc 2. And secondly, what is ROOT user? According to my manager, there are a ton of root user processes that are inactive, but taking up memory. According to its findings RIGHT now.. Wired : 163 MB Active : 144 MB Inactive : 185 MB Used : 489 MB Free : 22 MB 3. I'm trying to learn, and must say that I don't know that much yet, but isn't 22mb free.... kinda... bad? I've thought about reformatting back to nothing, would this be at end all of cures? THANKS! Tsuke EDIT : Spelling [/QUOTE]
