Problems with Pages and Processes

[rmt@36]

Hi All

It's that time again I have another problem and was wondering if anybody can help me fix them.

The first problem, I am not sure if I was the cause of the problem, but now it is annoying the hell out of me. whether it is firefox or on the desktop whenever there is a second page, or an information box that is not full page I have to minimize the first page to see it or deal with it. When I try to go to it or deal with it it will disappear and it is under the first page. Any Ideas?

The second problem is I was fixing a problem with my computer and following instructions, (I believe I ended up doing something with the "RUN" area and I ended up turning on all these programs. Right now I have 55 processes running and it is seriously slowing down my computer. I can't remember where the page is that I got all this info from to go back and turn off some of the processes. And I don't know which ones to turn off.

Can somebody give me a hand and help clear up these problems?

I would be forever grateful, Thanks in advance for any help anybody can give me.
