strekship Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Do a repair install of windows. Everything will be kept intact exept for system files. U will need to install any updates u may have had. But only do that as a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 is what it looks like now.. cpu usage is low(er).. but everytime i go to do something it flies back up and drops and flies back up when i click something again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I don't see anything too suspicious. I have seen different versions of Mcafee cause problems like this, you might try disabling it temorarily and see if the problem goes away. Usually has to do with the On-Access scan and the background scanner. Sorry, no other suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strekship Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 If u are desprate, here is what i recomend:1) Boot the computer to your Windows XP cd.2) Select the option "setup windows XP now".3) Accept the EULA4) Select the windows XP installation u want to fix fro mthe list, the press the R key.WARNING!!!: If the R key is not an option, you will lose all info on your windows install.5) After you press the R key, it will act like it is doing a clean install, but dont worry. After u reboot it will continu to install normally. But don't worry, all of your profiles and programs will remain intact. If u had updates to windows, u will need to run windows update.
