[Burnt Norton]

There was an error message saying, "The audit did not complete in a timely manner and was stopped." However, I saved what results there were, and it processed 128 of something when it saved, so hopeuflly it has some good information.

Anyway, I attached it to the PM.

The CPU usage is still at 100% and the machine is still sluggish after WinAudit stopped. Perhaps WinAudit triggered the problem again, since the CPU usage went from 0 to 100 and stayed there since I opened WinAudit.

Well...that gave me a bit more to go on...

Click Start, then Run, type services.msc and click "Ok". Is there a service named ZipToA listed? If so, what is it's status (Started, stopped, disabled)?

ZipToA is there, but its status is not given. (See attached screen shot.)

It's set to Automatic. Double click on the service and disable it. You don't have a zip drive that needs to map to the floppy drive, do you?

Also disable TeaTimer...it's hanging and may be interfering with getting a full WinAudit.

[Burnt Norton]

I disabled ZipToA. How do I disable TeaTimer? It's not listed as that in the services window.

[wannabe1]

You can probably disable Tea Timer through Spybot S&D. Or by using msconfig and deselecting it under the startup tab.

[Burnt Norton]

It wasn't listed under msconfig's startup tab. I uninstalled Spybot based on an earlier suggestion. Should I reinstall it and try to use it to disable TeaTimer?

[wannabe1]

No...Tea Timer is a part of Spybot S&D. Take a look in Add or Remove Programs and make sure it's not listed there.

[Burnt Norton]

Neither SpyBot nor TeaTimer is listed there...

[Burnt Norton]

Maybe a botched uninstall?..

[wannabe1]

Let it run for a while and then try to get me a complete WinAudit. CPU still at 97%?

It should have uninstalled with Spybot...just wanted to make sure.

CPU has been at 100% for three weeks, except for those two mysterious bouts of lucidity today when I started it up after several hours off.

I'll run the full WinAudit now.

[Burnt Norton]

"The audit did not complete in a timely fashion and it has been stopped." I think it stopped at the same point, since it is currently processing 128 of something in order to save it to a pdf. I'll PM you with it anyway.

If it really is a matter of time, as WinAudit claims, are there some boxes I could uncheck in the options window on a third run?

Thanks!

[wannabe1]

Uncheck "Display Capabilities" and see what happens.

[Burnt Norton]

Okay, I started it...
