Is this bad for my computer?

from WinCustomize Forums
okay. i guess i am wondering is if i have to much going on here. i am running desktopX, Object dock, and Windowblinds all together to create my ultimate desktop.

i am just worried that i have to much going on and it's not healthy for my computer to run all of this at once, esspecially on start up. i sometimes feel like i am making my computer do things it doesn't want to do.

this is probably a silly question. but i just want to know what others think. do i have to much going on?

Nope it won't hurt your computer at all, it is the same as having any other 3 programs open at one time. As far as it doing things it doesn't want to do, depends on how new (or how fast) it is. I have a 1ghz PIII as my main machine at home and I run most of the Object Desktop software at the same time, but at a minimum Desktop X and Windowblinds are running at all times, along with all of my other run on start up programs (Zone Alarm Pro, CachemanXP, Avast Antivir, Active Sync). It the end no it is not a silly question, and one last thought, I know that the hard drive on my sons computer can get very loud if it hasn't gotten a proper Defrag in a while, you might give it a try.

okay, awesome. thank you for the quick reply. i have a 1.8 P4. so i guess it can handle it. and yeah ii'm definitly getting to the point of needing to defrag.

thanks again for the reply. i appreciate it.
