window vista --high cpu usage
just recently, my ibm lenovo 3000 became slugginsh.
Resource Monitor show explorer is consuming a lot of CPU...nothing else.... ran anti virus and no virus detected. ran in safe mode, and system runs normally. ran in diagnostic mode which has fewer servies running than the safe mode and the cpu crawls. so it seems that it's not the running services that are causing the cpu to slow down. i tried to logged in as a different user, which i created fresh and it's also slow. In normal mode, even if all services and startup are disabled, system is still slow. i am thinking of purchasing Xp and install over the current Vista but i am not even sure if XP installer will let me down rev from Vista. does anyone have suggestions. my systems: intel 1G T2060 @1.6G 1 G memory SATA 120G hard drive thank you in advance.

Up the RAM to 2gb Presently, your 1gb is being shared with the video card.. How full is your hard drive? It could be that your hard drive has a problem. You can download test software from the hard drive manufacturer websites.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx

Thats a good idea. You can also try to take the video card out & try to run the system on internal graphics adapter. And check if the system is still slow. You can also try to increase the size of virtual memory. And your system should have some diagnostic menu or some way through which you can check if the hard drive is working fine or not. -- tanuj_chadha Tanuj History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. - Karl Marx :geek:
