What a difference a year's worth of promos makes
All I can say is WOW!
I finally kept my promise to myself and restored my system partition to an image made back in Nov 2009 (that's just before I installed a Returnil promo... and my machine was always a little flaky after that even after an uninstall with Revo.. Bad Returnil )
I feel a little bit naked now and notice just how many installed promo programs I've accumulated in 16 months.
See that's what happens when you regularly visit a forum like this one. ""
Oh, look! gotta get a license for THAT!"
I don't remember all the details, but before I did the restore, I had about 60-70 processes running under XP SP3 all the time with a baseline of 500-600 MB RAM in use.
Last night, with only Notepad and Task Manager running -- no AV installed -- TM reported this:
Handles 7,895
Threads 402
Processes 37
Commit Charge 241,912
Kernel 59,012
Paged 46,012
Nonpaged 12,9884
PF Usage 236 MB
Now I get to determine which programs I actually will reinstall. I think I'll just ask myself as I go down the list of asking just how often I actually used such and such app.
And in case you're wondering why no AV was installed on that image, whenever I'm about to install a new AV I always completely uninstall what I was using before and then make a system image... just in case. Makes life much easier.
