    Do you have upto date AV/antispyware/firewall installed, how much ram have you got? I have 31 processes on mine, 37 is not that far out, but it depends what they are.. if you click on the column header in task maneger, you should be able to see if one process is hogging the cpu.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    this seems that you have alot of programs running in the background. on the bottom right of your pc screen where the time is, the are icons. these are some of the things that are runnig in the background. find out what they are and if you dont need them running, turn them off.

    also if you have alot of software installed, remove some that you no longer use.

    also get a free spyware scanner of the interent and run it. you may have dodgy programs runiing without you knowing.

    empty you recycling bin.

    and lastly, run hard drive de-frag, it takes a whille but is worth it. go to start>programs>accessorises>system tools>disk defragmenter.

    i hope this helps:)

    Go to Start / Run type "msconfig" (without quotes) and press enter. If you click the startup tab, you will see various programs that always get opened when you log in.

    Untick all the ones that you don't need (this doesn't uninstall the programs - you can always start them manually or re-tick the box later. There might be some programs that you want to keep, so if in doubt just type the program name into Google, and you should find out what it is.

    Hope this helps...

    256 is a bit low, 512 would be better (assuming that you have XP).. https://www.crucial.com

    Try a scan..
