Hello!
First of all, i'm not a programmer. I'm running Windows XP Pro. For the
past two/three weeks, every once in a while, my machine runs extremely
slow, and the only strange thing i see in the task manager is a
python.exe. When i stop that process, my machine runs fine again. It's
using 112,000k of memory...i don't know what python is or does, all i
have been able to ascertain is that when it runs, it slows down my
machine. please make it stop. i'm guessing that i'm running an earlier
version of Python, as my computer is older, i'm guessing it's version
2.1.2,2.2, or 2.2.1. I'd really like to trash all python files, yet they
must be in my machine for a reason.  Thank you, in advance.
