CPU Usage 100% (and not system idle process)

Half price day was a mess for me -- my computer froze for 10-15 seconds each time I clicked anything.... grrrrrr that was painful! I was sure I had a virus so this am I started in safe mode, ran all of my virus & malware & spyware scans to find nothing. I have been watching my performance through the Windows Task Manager and my services.exe is running anywhere from 50 - 99 constantly! I thought the services.exe is supposed to manage the transition between programs. I looked it up and there are a lot of links to people who seem to think this "services.exe" is a virus. winss.exe is running 19-35 constantly too. (will continue my rant/question)

[quote=Dmitri]Not really. Maybe it's slower by a milisecond or two but the benefits are better for me. Windows 7 does a better job at conserving battery life so i boot into that operating system (from the D drive) when i need battery life. However, installing all sorts of stuff on it will clog it and decrease battery life so for everyday stuff, i use windows XP from the C drive. As for apps, most of them are stuffed on the 11G partition. Only the big games are run from the other drive[/quote] That makes so much sense. Vista is huge isn't it? ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc
