How to view the running services on a WIN98 PC 1

[moreCA]

I would like to find out if a certain service is running on my machine, but I don't know how to view the running services in WIN98. Any ideas?

Thanks,
CA

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del on the Desktop.

Another option is to click Start/Run, type msconfig, click OK, click the Startup tab, and look at which items are checked.

Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't give me what I want...those are the running processing, I don't guess those are everything that is running in the background. Looking at MSCONFIG did, however give me what I was looking for. I had forgotten about that program.

Thanks for you response.

msconfig won't show all BHO objects.. grab the hijackthis utility

http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

it's freeware, just remember not to randomly delete stuff you can cause system problems

start > run MSinfo32 >> Software Environment >> "Startup Programs" [Loaded From] Column will list these;
(like this)
LoadPowerProfile Registry (Machine Run)
AVG_CC Registry (Machine Run)
LoadPowerProfile Registry (Machine Service) Avgserv9.exe Registry (Machine Service)
TrueVector Registry (Machine Service)
minilog Registry (Machine Service)

and Running Tasks will show you some surprises as well, but most you were unaware of are fine - so leave alone, and or post oddities here
