Hello,

I need some assistance figuring out how to fix my issue as described in

the Subject.

When ever I use explorer or iexplorer, the CPU pegs at 100% for a
couple of seconds.
Using Process Explorer from sysinternal.com i can see that the thread
WINMM.dll!PlaySoundW+0x77f is what's causing the CPU to spike.

But now, I'm not sure what to do next.

This is on an Windows XP Pro Sp2

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alex
