I was advised to ule 'tasklist' in another thread, but it does not work. I
get a 'not a int or ext command' message. I'm running xp home, is this
command only in xp pro. Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

You should have posted back in the same thread. There is no Windows or
"DOS" command called Tasklist.

Were you possibly directed to the Task Manager. If so do a Ctrl, Alt +Del
key press and select Task Manager from the window that opens. Otherwise
post back to your original thread.

What happen if you open the run command and type in:
tasklist /?
Do you get anything?

You can use the process Explorer from here:
Process Explorer
Find out what files, registry keys and other objects processes have open,
which DLLs they have loaded, and more. This uniquely powerful utility will
even show you who owns each process.

Yes, this command exists only in WinXP Pro. Beats me why Microsoft excluded
it from the Home version. There are a number of equivalent commands you can
download, e.g. tlist.exe
