Title: What is too much to be running in the background?
Post by: waltflanagansdog on December 18, 2003, 11:19:09 AM

I am having issues lately with laptop recording, and I am curious if I am running too much in the background.  Here's what I have:

Under the CPU tab, Processes tab, in  Task manager:
System Idle Process: 99

I have been getting weird levels during recording and I am wondering if I am running too much.

Thanks for ANY help.

it all depends on your processor, ram, virtual memory and OS.  if im transfering i tend to do very little- occasionally i will chat on AIM or sometimes I will browse the net, but i try to keep it to a minimum.

Don't sweat the System Idle Process.  It's the other processes that may be causing your problems.

Per your other thread in the Ask The Tapers forum, check out Black Viper's Win2k Pro Services Config (http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm) site.  Use it as a guide to turn off unnecessary services and see if you still have a problem.  If you do, I'd call Edirol support - maybe there's a problem with the UA-5s USB.

So do I need to be looking at DEFAULT Pro if I am running Win2000 Pro?
