hey ppl. Since yesterday my computer has slowed down drastically. I could play Half-life 2 without any slow down at all. Now i cant even run steam. The problem is tho that my cpu usage in windows explorer is 100% even after turning off any unnecessary processes. I heard something called spoolsv.exe or similar was causing the problem, so i ended that and still no improvement. The processes i am running at the mo are:
activeds.exe
alg.exe
audiosrv.exe
csrss.exe
ctfmon.exe
DSentry.exe
explorer.exe
fspex.exe
gcasDtServ.exe
iexplore.exe
lsass.exe
rundll32.exe x2 (think i should have 1...??)
NDETECT.EXE
sdmcp.exe
SERVIC~1.EXE (this file i know is causing some problems however doesnt improve cpu usage)
services.exe
smss.exe
spoolsv.exe
svchost.exe (x6)
system
system idle process
taskmgr
tfswctrl.exe
wdfmgr.exe
winlogon.exe
LUCOMS~1.EXE
AUPDATE.EXE
the last 2 came up automatically and have been causing my comp to minimize when playin games in fullscreen but no improvement in cpu usage. Please help i think it is posy the spoolsv.exe file however i am unsure what to do, also heard something about active print jobs tho i didnt ask for any and i cant find them unless im doing it wrong.
cheers jon
