Hello all,
now that i have my retail (oem) version of Win XP Pro 64-bit installed and
running smoothly, the task manager reveals something very interesting. i was
wondering if anyone out there sees the same thing:
when i open task manager right after boot up, i have 19 files/srvcs running.
about 3 minutes after that 6 more files will run without anything in the
startup options and in msconfig and in admin services (ctrl panel). they are
1. wscntfy.exe
2. alg.exe
3. svchost.exe
4. NvSvc64.exe (no doubt from my Nvidia card)
5. SmSvcHost.exe
6. cisv.exe
then about 7 mins after that (10 mins into the boot) a 7th file will start.
7. cidaemon.exe
And this happens all the time. i don't run any other programs, jst the task
mngr. my question(s) are, where do these come from? (except #6). How do they
run. are they secret lines in the registry? why don't they come right in on
boot up? very strange. especially that last file. cidaemon.exe won't start to
run until 10 mins after boot up. anyone else notice this stuffs?
thanks
