I use my PC for gaming and it acts as the hub for the multimedia in my
apartment. It's a mid-ranged machine that handles 3D Accelerated games
nicely, acts as a DVD Player, DVR, stereo and secondary TV.
I had absolutely no problems with the computer performance with XP, but
after switching to Vista Ultimate, one annoying little process has made my
left hell.
TrustedInstaller.exe randomly pops up on my taskmanager and sucks up between
50%-90% of my CPU power right in the middle of my other processes. If I'm
playing a game, the frame rates drop to an unplayable level for 10 minutes,
if I watching a DVD, the video and sound skip consistantly, and worse of all,
if I DVR a TV program I was recording to watch later and
"TrustedInstaller.exe" decides to kick in, for about 5 to 10 minutes, that
recording is nothing but pauses, skips, and jumps for the length of time it's
running.
So.. I check online for a solution to my problem. I google
TrustedInstaller, I check the forums on some Vista sites, I come here and
look for solutions. All I find is people complaining, others agreeing and
NOT ONE Solution other then kill the process or set it's priority to low.
My solution, I deleted the damn file. No more TrustedInstaller.exe. For
the last week my gaming has been smooth, my DVR recordings are without skips,
my DVDs have played nicely. The only thing I get is an error message saying
that windows coudln't access the file. For what process or procedure? I
don't know.. but I don't care either. If Microsoft can't be straight and
forward with what that process is up to and what functions on your computer
use TrustedInstaller.exe then it has no place on my computer.
That's my story and why I did what I did.
p.s. I didn't actually delete the file. I just moved it and renamed it to
Trustedinstaller.old
