Well cpnsider yourself lucky i have 40!!

The reason for the high number is because there is alot of processes required to run windows. therefore a fresh windows Xp would probably have around 15-20 So dont worry!!

If there using up all your cpu maybe this is a good time to upgrade!

Whats in your current comp?

Try going to the run command and typing "msconfig" (with out inverted commas) you can then disable things that teh PC starts when it boots, this will cut down the number of things running in the back ground that aren't needed. Remove teh tick from things like real player or your dvd player they can always be started through the usual ways anyway.

Hope this helps

Adh Mor (good luck)
