What's Running
Thanks for the reply, but I used System Mechanic to disable taskmon.exe at startup. Could it still be running? Thanks, Pete- Lnlpawpaw

What's Running
Running Windows 98 SE. When I run the sysyem monitor it shows something is running in the background at regular intervals that uses 34% processor usage. I am running the minimum at startup: Explorer, Systray and point32 (mouse). What else could be using the processor? Thanks, Pete- Lnlpawpaw

New hard drive controller
I am running an IBM Aptiva 2152E2N and would like to add a new hard drive controller board. The one that came with the machine is on the motherboard and is ultra 33. I want to add a pci card that is ata 100. How do I disable the onboard controller? Thanks, Pete- Lnlpawpaw
