Specialists Needed For Computer Build And Fixing

[Phillip]

unbelivable the nasties are gone, when i go ctlr + alt + delete i now have only 14 processes running instead of the 39 i had...

i will check perfomance later. i just tried converting dvd to ipod now it promisses 02:44 minutes of work not too fast but i certainly wont be seeing no 53hours any more


any further suggestions for perfomance?.....what would happen if i buy more memory, how much faster can my pc perform then?

Here's an informative site for Msconfig startups. http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php?filter=&letter=A

More ram will give you better speed thru ability to multi-task...so if there are many prosesses running, more ram would help tremendously IMHO. Faster CPU would do the job even more tremendously I figure. But ultimately if you can disable 25 start-ups I'd say you're probably OK already. lol

Thanks Mikey my CPU percentage now sits at 1% instead of 100%.

I just backed up a movie using dvdfabplatinum. I got 55 minutes run time.

Now how is that for calling a team of specialist to solve problems?

I am talking an improvement from 8 hours to 55 minutes. From 39 processes to only 25 at run time.

Good job guys we achieved our goal if u were here I was gonna give you a raise

Thanks to all of you who posted and helped solve a problem which could have taken me months to figure.

Now I am going to power set up my laptop as well.

I was reading this because I had the same problems for a while.. when I saw yout cpu at 100% i was thinking WHAT IN THE WORLD?!!!
Looks like you are doing well.... When is the last time you defraged?
It will help a bit also.
On my computer I have a registery cleaner and it helps ALOT!
Next time you run the msconfig take screen shots again of your process(es) and cpu usage
and anything that might be helpful.
Make SURE your antivirus is up to date and run it while the computer is in safe mode!!! (I have a feeling you may find other hidden nasties in there)
If your multitasking or are not on the net...or if your doing "safe" task where you won't get any virus just turn the antivirus off when your making movie back-ups.
I am glad your doing well now.. congrats
