Two good sites to check the identity of running processes: http://www.tasklist.org/tasklist_a.html http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ With the second link, just type the name of the process for which you are SEARCHING after the slash after the WORD processlibrary. I like these two links, but i'm sure other regulars to the ComputeHope forum know websites that are just as good as these. Regards, Doc |
