Is there any way at all to do Office untended without using the administrative setup. I don't have a VLK version of office, so I can't do admin setup. Is there a work around? It would be really convenient to have this. Thanks, Adam

I've got adaware, I've run it, it comes up with some cookies, but that's it. I quarantine and delete them. Like I said before, there doesn't seem to be any correlation to time of day, or applications running, or any such thing like that. It just starts, goes on for a while, then stops as suddenly as it started. Sometimes I will leave my computer for a few hours, after it's been running fine, and come back to find that the problem has started. Then I'll get frustrated and leave for another few hours and the problem will have stopped. It's not mission-critical that I solve the problem, as I plan to get a bunch of new hardware and rebuild my computer from the ground up, thereby starting with a fresh windows build. I was just wondering if there was a solution in the interim that would stop this annoyance. It has put my windows knowledge to the test, I've tried everything from optimizing startup, etc. to registry cleaning. Nothing... Let me know what you all think. -Adam

Hey all, I'm having a problem where occasionally, and in no regular intervals, my processor time will be eaten up by both the explorer.exe and svchost.exe background tasks. It does consume 100% of the processor, but usually fluxuates between 25% and 75% creating something that looks like and ECG (see picture) when you look at the usage history in Task Manager. This problem is really quite frustrating as it seriously degrades system performance when it occurs and there is no apparent reason for it to be occuring. I'm almost certain I don't have a virus, I run virus scans regularly with the latest updates. I have multiple firewalls in place, including the windows firewall. I'm running SP2. Are there any hints or suggestions you all can give me as to where to turn for a solution to this problem? Has anyone ever heard of this before? Here are my system specs (in detail) ASUS A7V333 Motherboard AMD Athlon XP 2100 512 MB RAM two 120gb IBM hard drives Sony DVD writer Plextor CD writer Audigy Matrox Parhelia 128MB graphics card Bluetooth mouse and keyboard USB devices galore Advice, anyone? Thanks, Adam
