cpuidle.exe keeps running at realy high cpu usage making
my pc slow which is stupid cause when it happens i am
usually busy doing work or something and makes the pc
slow as anything and have to end it in task manager then
everything is ok again anyone no how to fix this please
help. even starts when i am games and other processes
that are using a lot of cpu power and this makes them
really jumpy because the cpuidle.exe listed in
taskmanager in processes says 90% or so is being used by
it which really effects the games and stuff making it
impossible to continue without ending the cpuidle.exe
which i do and everything is imediatly back to normal.

Maybe you missed the point that it wasn't "System Idle Process" but rather a
program that is running and it's exacutable is cpuidle.exe. It's installed
when you install SETI@home from http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and
probably other programs like it or by itself from www.cpuidle.de.

Now who's the one that needs a dictionary?

I did not download anything from that site but might it
have been in a package with something else maybe.

What is the point to using CPUIdle with WinXP anyway?
