Thanks Dan your advice worked. Now I am back to it

[Dan]

That's good to hear.

[Phillip]

Guys I am done running Chewy's setup I have not done anything on my pc yet so i dont know if it has started perfoming.

I attached the screenshot from my perfomance tab i dont know if it will be useful but if you have any advice please let me know...

now i am to run everest setup from Gary D's signature

[Dan]

What were you running when that pic was taken? Your CPU usage is steady at 100%.

[Phillip]

I dont know Dan....

I ran nothing except the processes...there was nothing else. Anything you see wrong?

[Dan]

Yes, your CPU usage is @ 100% and beside it in the CPU usage history it is 100% straight across the top showing that something(s) really hogging your resources.

Usually that will only happen with DVD Shrink in full force or maybe running a virus scan.

[Phillip]

Does that mean i got something serious running in the background....how can i solve the problem?

[Phillip]

I went to processes and deleted some of the running processes. CPU usage got down to 1%. I consider this a temporary fix.

How can I permanently make those processes stop eating up my resources?

[Dan]

It must have been one of those processes, so it should be easy to track down.

If you ended several and your not sure which process it was, you might want to reboot and if your CPU is steady @ 100%, close 1 at a time and pin point the process.

[Phillip]

i wish i could end this processes permanently just now i was backing up with acronis before doing jmet resources freerer....it didnt back up until i went to processes to end up...then it took just 15 minutes to back up


is it possible to not make them run at the first place?

[mill]

Might be able to turn it off in msconfig?

[Phillip]

Gary D

I generated the Everest report as suggested but i dont know how to post it.....its too large. Any suggestions?

[Phillip]

Thanks Mill. I did turn some off at misconfig...will read up more and get rid of this nasties.

Now I am gonna back up and see if my pc can run faster
