Argh! Vista and taskeng.exe

[Miked]

Is anyone who is running Windows Vista having problems with taskeng.exe running on their systems?  The program seems to be running twice and is really slowing down my system.  I have googled and read "solutions", but they don't seem to work.  I have tried to disable it via my firewall but it still runs.  

At times it takes up as much as 70% of my computer's resources .  Is anyone who is running Vista experiencing similar problems?

I'd appreciate any help... thanks.

Darth,

I posted this in the  alternate OSes forum.  I run Winuae and I also have an Amiga 500 w/Bodega Bay, Derringer 030/40 and other goodies.  I was hoping that others here could help me out.  I've had an Amiga since 1987 and find the support here invaluable.  If I am out of line, I apologize.

Lol!  Yes, if my Amiga 500 arrangement was a bit more powerful I wouldn't have the need for this windoze system.  You know this Vista mess runs about 68 programs after boot up... it's such a shame.

The problem is I bought this laptop with winblows Vista installed.  I was Amiga only for a while and skipped the XP OS.  I guess the question is would Microsoft let me downgrade to XP even though I do not own XP.
