I start Task Manager and notice that the following file is using the most CPU Memory: "System Idle Process" How can I safely stop this from taking some much CPU memory? Thanks to whomever

Clearly you are going places you hopefully are smart enough to only observe and not change. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System... Google or any web search engine is your friend Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

"System Idle Process"- The higher the CPU Number the lower the amount is actually being used. It's nothing to be concerned about at all. Tufenuf

Okay, then why is my Internet not responding very quickly as a cable connectivity of 525-some kbps is hooked up and running?

idle English - it comes in handy Connection issues are caused by many things - just not that I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

Perhaps you should repost this as "Internet Slow" with some more details, as this appears to be the actual question that requires answering - rather than your deduction. It can be caused by many things including internet overload and server problems. It would be worth knowing how long this problem has been going on, whether it is on some or all websites, and how you are measuring this slowness. DerekW
