[Guest]

for the past few days i have not been able to use Window media player because
of the cpu usage going to 100 and staying there, well last night i ran scans
for virus and spyware, nothing. then i removed media and downloaded an
updated version and its still doing the same thing. what now!

You need to find the specific process or application that's taking all
the CPU resources and slowing down your PC as it may not be Media Player.

To do this try Process Explorer:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and 'Show Lower
Pane' options.
(This will provide the detailed info you need)
Next click on the CPU column to sort processes by %CPU usage.
Then click on the process that's using most or all the CPU %,
once it's highlighted, right click and from the options listed select:
google
This should display what out there on the web about that process.

Note: some entries like Explorer and svchost may need to be expanded to show
the detail,
(sub processes), in this case click on the + located to the left on the
entry.
