![]() ![]() Pros: - 1-spot, all-in one System management.CPU-Control is a utility with a free license that is equipped with precise tools for adjusting CPU operation. On the rare occasions I was able to run System Explorer it could not end those processes either. And, no, no trace of any malware to date!Although those Apps don't open, they apparently are 'active': I can see all the processes in TaskManager (which usually does start, albeit very slowly, sometimes only after an Alt/Ctrl/Del), but am unable to kill them. Just daily Web browsing, Word an, occasionnaly, XL (Office XP: oh, how my Vista hates this 'elderly' relative.), no games nor heavy video nor picture-editing. Well in less than 2 years I already had to reinstall it twice (last time in February) and just like in the Chrome 'case', everything runs fine for some time and then starts to deteriorate, up until the point I cannot live with it any more. I bought an HP installed machine (thinking this would prevent the Vista blues I'd been reading about). All went well but, bingo, yesterday it happened again!In my case, this is typical for Vista. Finally, some days ago, I installed and upgraded a Chrome 6.xxx beta and upgraded once. Installing the Comodo Chrome flavor helped for some time, then it started again. Funny thing is that this behavior started with a 'stable' 5.xxx version. A partial solution is, of course to open the other apps before Chrome: they will then work normally together. This usually means I can't run any other application and can't even shut down Windows properly unless, sometimes, after waiting for ages and I mean for ages or, mostly, by just bluntly pushing the on/off switch (which I highly dislike, of course).Firefox is my default browser, but I use Chrome on a daily basis for my morning eMail 'clean-up' where it helps to do the job faster. CleanMem will not help, it just does not run. ![]() If Google Chrome is running, most of the times I'll be unable to open Jarte, Free Commander or Word (I use those on a daily basis). This one offers more i n one single interface and executes fairly fast.On the other hand, I've been experiencing a strange behavior of my Vista System for some time now. I've been using TaskManager, AnVir Task Manager and Sysinternals Process Explorer for quite some time now. Version 3.7.0 has been released in Installer and Portable version! This version adds "Discovered" column to Processes,Modules and autoruns, improves list of modules in Process Details dialog, adds option to customise color and background of the CPU Graph and more. System Explorer is a full-featured task and process manager that gives you an exhaustive view of all the activities currently going on in your system. Even if you're happy with the Windows Task Manager, you should give it a try. With a handful of configuration and customization options that put the finishing touch, System Explorer is efficient, useful and easy to use. Another feature I specially liked in System Explorer is the ability to obtain more information about each process from Google and, or check it for virus with an online antivirus tool. You can end any active program, set the priority for a selected process or delete items from the startup menu. The good thing about System Explorer is that it enables you not only to see what's brewing in your system, but also take action. System Explorer features a renewed interface with a top toolbar that gives you access to the different areas of information included in the program ( Processes, Performance and History) and a main window to display the selected area. ![]()
