CPU usage

[jbpq]

Really don't know what to do to diagnose the problem :

I've just reinsattaled WinXP Home on my computer two weeks ago ... since a
few days, it's very slow and my CPU usage is at 100 % ... i did stop some
processes but it's always at 100 %. Anybody knows where to look at to find
the problem ?

You can open event viewer in ADM. to start,see what events/errors are takein
place.Next,go to run,type:Msconfig Services tab,select,hide all microsoft services
then select disable all,then close out restart computer.Back on desktop,see if the cp
usage has changed,if so you'll know its not in microsoft software.Reopen Msconfig
restart services,restart computer.

Thank you, Andrew.... with the use of MSConfig... I've found my problem...
it's my Oracle installation that caused a so high CPU usage.... I'll have to
reconfigure it... thanks again

Hi JBPQ,
I have the same problem myself (I use XP Pro). To overcome it (albeit
only temporarily) go to: right click My Computer, left click
Properties, left click Advanced, left click Settings. Select "Adjust
for best performance" or "Adjust for best appearance", click Apply and
then OK (experiment with these settings). This seems to work for me
every time - hope it works for you!
Are there members who know of a permanent solution to this problem?

Without knowing more information my FIRST suggestion would be check for
malware ASAP.
