tguy Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 You should also setup Performance Monitor to watch the CPU, Memory, Disk I/O etc. to see what is going on.You may also want to check out Process Explorer from Systernals.com to monitor processes running on your PC.After you ID the process causing high utilization you can take steps to correct the problem.
