Hello,
a few days ago I have installed the Software for a T-mobile PCMCIA card (WLAN, UMTS, GPRS) and afterwards the laptop became intolerably slow. My OP is Windows XP Pro SP2, all the later hotfixes are installed. Especially if I want to play audio files the sound fades in and out and it is impossible to recognize text. Process explorer tells me that the process "System" (PID 4), which usually has a CPU usage of 2% or so, uses the CPU with constantly 50% or more. AVG Anti-virus scans or Anti Spy-ware scans have yielded no result (I did the scans as well after booting on another partition). Deinstalling the T-mobile software doesn't lead to any result either. I have a backup of the System partition, which I can play back, but when I install the T-mobile software again I get the same problem. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or can point me to a software which can diagnose the problem?
P.S.
a few years ago I had similar symptoms after visiting an Internet Café and I found no cause or remedy and had to re-install the OP.
Thank you very much in advance,
Marcel
