Re: Windows task manager??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Found the problem. It's the wireless card, Netgear311v2. BUT the card is ok.
Here's what I've done today.

I unplugged everything on this sytem except mouse, keyboard and monitor. The
system (WTM) was running near 0% CPU usage. I plugged everything back in
except the wireless card and still same good results. As soon as I plugged
in wireless, all he!! broke loose.
I took out the card and installed it in the other system I have here and it
works fine. I installed a regular card in this on and it worked ok.
I uninstalled the driver for the wireless and reinstalled, installed
wireless card and back to having 40-70% CPU usage.
I don't know what to do... I can run a cable over to this system but I'd
like to get the wireless running instead of having a cable running around
the room.

Note: like I said before, I've had this sytem here for several months
running ok. I thought it must have been acting up since I replaced HD but my
wife says it started acting up before I replaced HD.

suggestions,

Thanks. Will take care of that 'little' problem when I get home later.
Still working on the 'big' one.

Here's another small situation that has popped up.
I created another user profile and deleted the first one according to
instructions. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=555021

We've owned the system for several years with no problems until HD went
out. The replacement HD was in another system we had. I'm a pack-rat
and have boxes of "stuff".
What we do is when we replace a system here at our office, we take the
older one home and replace the one there. hand-me-downs.

Even though I moved the thread over here, I did get a
response/suggestion on other thread fror Dan, so I responded.
One suggestion I haven't tried is to check video card driver. I did
change out card since I had the system down and let winxp install
driver and will also run additional malware programs.

Still need to run Process Explorer. Got to late last night.

Or I may just reformat 'newer' HD, load win98se and then winxp upgrade.
IOW- start over.

Is this a used/previously owned computer?

Moving from Internetexplorer.general, "IE7 & IE8 slow"....

When I go to Task Manager I'm running between 35-70% CPU usage even
if no
apps are open. If I open OLE or IE7/8 it pegs at 100% and stays
there.
Even if I do a complete shut-down and restart, let the system sit, go
to WTM
and programs are opening and closing like a fireworks display.
csrrs.exe
stay between 23-40% and net.exe, net1.exe and others open and close
so fast
I can't read most of them.
I've reset user profile, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555021
I've uninstalled Zone Alarm and AVG.

Have another older system here and it's running fine. When I open WTM
CPU
usage is ~ 4%.
This system never drops below 45% CPU usage.

Suggestions please,
