I have Windows XP Pro installed on my laptop and notice that I have

periodically. I removed several programs in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, but I cannot
determine what all the activity is from. I am sure that our IT Staff would be
happy to reformat the hard drive for me, and reinstall MS applications, but
is there a way to monitor the actual network activity on my laptop to see
what is sending and receiving all that data?
Jim,
You can use TCPView (free from SysInternals) to identify programs active with
network connections.

But if you want to identify the volume producers, you'll need something like
Port Explorer, which will track each network connection by bytes in and out, and
let you sort the tracking list by either figure. Port Explorer has a trial
version that's free; the paid version even has a mini packet analyser.
