Maybe it Norton that is using it. Lol. I once worked on a computer that had Norton complaining. It was due to some gigantic protected files using up too much hard disk space. It was Norton's backup files! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 11:09 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] What is PostgreSQL Server and why do I have it Hi William: You should be able to use Microsoft Essentials or even Task Manager to track down, remove or stop the offending program. Why a program would use the PostgreSQL as a database for some application, unless it is some honking big app, is beyond me. It would be like running an enterprise version MSSQL or Oracle...and yes, that would definitely suck up CPU cycles. If you can not remember installing some major application on your system, I would almost bet that Norton's is making some sort of identification error and confine my search resolution along those lines.

I don't think it is really helpful for nortons to tell me what rdbmss is cranking up the cpu but not which host application or process is asking it to do so! I have 20 days of Dell Pro Support left. To extend or not to extend, oh what to do, what to do?! On the "pro" side: 1) depending on what tech you get, they are very patient and thorough 2) without Pro suppoet, Dell supports very little. On the "con" side: 1) $225 for a year of support that includes SW, $500 for 2 yrs. 2) all techs use a lot of time; bad ones (a) give up; (b) declare victory too early ie, solution not met; (c) insist on tweaking things I dont want changed nor needed changing or (d) insist on rolling back machine to factory condition, which takes forever and leaves me having to reinstall everything I need to use.
