Cpu Usage @ 100%

[Guest]

Everytime I open a folder or file, my cpu usage jumps to 100% then back to normal? any Ideas on how to fix this? I don't have a windows xp cd to do a repair.

Every time you carry out some actionon the PC the engine - CPU - has to work. For periods of fractions of a second or longer it actually works. The rest of the time is does little or no work.

What is normal for a computer.

If you do remodelling of financal data ll the time CPU usage will be high for significant portions, as would it when playing back a DVD movie.

When you are just typing emails, well it could just about go to sleep.

So don't worry: nothign is wrong. It's just the way a computer works.

That makes sense, but my audio and video and everything else freezes for a while. This has never happened before. All of my processes are normal. So if it is a normal thing than I won't worry.

Just to be sure try running AdAware from
www.lavasoftuse.com download the free version, make sure you check for
updates when you run it.
