Short story. We deleted Yahoo & YSTIS (something like that) @ the usage spike dropped off. The M/c is running better. The problem now is that I use yahoo to talk to a friend in Australia. Is Yahoo a bloated thing? Or is the one I am running corrupted in some way? M |

| 537031 | 2007-03-31 23:09:00 | Try the latest version Of Messenger, Windows Live whatever its called . Dont know if its any better . BUT, if the other person gets the latest version of Yahoo, you can still add each other . Or just get something like Gaim, which works with most IM programs around . And I dont think its as big as Yahoo or Messenger . Altho If you're using cams, I'm not too sure if it works with cams . Yahoo IMO is crap . It lags too much . |

| 537033 | 2007-04-01 00:10:00 | Well I had a PC the other with a similar problem of CPU usage spikes. Traced the problem to Nokia PC Suite and removed it. If you open Task Manager and go to the processes tab you can click on the CPU column so that it puts the highest CPU usage at the top. You should then be able to see what is using the CPU. Don't worry about System Idle Process. |

Flatlining at 100%. M |

| 537035 | 2007-04-01 01:23:00 | I had a thought. Both comps in Task Manager, performance grahp. one is all over the place, 10-100% usage. There is nothing but the task m running . The other M/c, same situation, is constant at 2-4%. I disconnected both, physically from broadband.. No difference in graph readings. So it is not Coming In from the Internet. PJ |
