Hi Bert..you do get about..
while searching for help re my problem I found this other site where you had
been helping.
http://forums.wugnet.com/Perform%20Maintain-High-CPU-usage-program-running-ftopict355962.html
Sounds pretty much like the problem I am having. Using the process explorer
I have found that interrupts and dpc,s are using up most of the cpu %.
I followed your advice but disabling usb and hardware has had no effect on
the %.
Open to any more offers.
Cheers
