My system seems to be running extremely slow. E.G. it took nearly 30 min to
copy 1 audio file from cd to the media library. I notice that there are > 30
tasks running in the task manager. What processes are necessary for widows xp
in the task manager? I'm afraid to delete any of them since I don't know what
they are. When this ocurred, I also noticed that the CPU usage was running at
100% with the time being taken up mostly by "wincore332.exe and 1 other
process that I can't remember. I would like to know what processes I can
safely delete in the task manager.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
