2.) they can be rescheduled to run when your not
using the PC like at 4: am
3.) i specifically mentioned ADOBE not the microsoft updates ||||which can be configured separately |||||
4.) i suggested he look at all programs running with a beautiful FREE program that i find extremely useful
5.) i KNOW your method for diagnosing computer slow-downs
is completely by the book using NO insightful or creative thinking - its samo samo MS 1,2,3,
Most people have WAY to many programs running in their start menu to begin with , so it's a logical place to EXPLORE
it's EXPLORING JOHN _learning to explore your personal computer....
LISTEN AND LEARN oh wizard of "Microsoft RULES"
