Have you tried another video player as I will need to determine if it is a generic or specific fault

[Advertisements]

It is a generic fault. I tried wmplayer and real player but they still drive the cpu usage up to 100%.

There is another weird problem going on. A certain svchost.exe i mentioned in the previous time is driving up my cpu usage to 100%. I've attached the screenshot below.

Another peculiar problem just occurred. Photoshop took about 5 mins to open instead of the usual <1 because of the max CPU usage. However, after completely loading photoshop, the svchost.exe dropped its cpu usage to the old common. My computer is no longer lagging nor using up such high cpu usage. This is very very weird.

I'm sorry for having so much problems down here!

I really thank you alot for trying so hard there! =)

OK reflection on previous posts shows that you are on the edge for memory and your hard drive is a tad full

So lets try and remedy that and see if that helps

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP, Vista and Windows 2000 onlyDouble-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browserClick Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browserClick Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

THEN

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
2. In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
3. Click OK
4. The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
5. Select the More Options Tab.
6. At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
7. Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done

FINALLY FOR NOW

Download and run Auslogics Disc Defragmenter

Let me know if that helps any

[rabien]

I have cleaned up my computer and ran the defragmenter. My C drive now has up to 12 gig of empty space. However, the problem of windows live messenger and video playbacks still persist. Other than these two problems, everything is perfectly fine.

I am able to play games that supposedly take up more ram than those 2 programmes.

Do you need me to run anymore scans?

It might be related to this problem i had a year back:
http://www.geekstogo...406#entry976406

If you don't mind taking a look. Thanks alot alot =)

rabien

[Essexboy]

OK give me till tomorrow whilst I do some research

[Essexboy]

OK lets remove all of Norton from your system in case that is still blocking messenger

Download and run the removal tool from here http://service1.syma...005033108162039

Then could you let me know what video card you have along with the memory on it

[rabien]

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I did not receive any notification with your reply. Lucky i checked =))

I'm currently uninstalling norton, I do not have the product key but i guess it's okay already right? Since I've already stopped using it.

My Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 256MB Shared Ram.

Thanks alot alot and sorry for all the trouble!

OK next could you go here and update your drivers http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us select Option 2 Graphics drivers. Let me know if that makes a difference

One thing though is this My Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 256MB Shared Ram.

as you are sharing ram from your main system then video intensive programmes which also require a lot of main memory may run slow. It might be worth updating to a dedicated video card

[rabien]

HAHA! That was what I needed! Thanks so much so much. I really didn't know :s Yeah, I updated the driver and everything went back fine =)

Thanks so much!

Do you mind giving me some last tips on optimizing my computer and stuff and you should be able to close this topic =)

Thank you so much!

A few tips coming up .. Some now and some at the end

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Synchronization Manager] mobsync.exe /logon
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThis.


If you find that you need some of these at start then you can restore them via Hijackthis backup

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

Double click OTScanit once again and you should see a CleanUp! button, press that button, you may get prompted by your firewall that OTScanit wants to contact the internet, allow this, a cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will delete all the tools you have downloaded plus itself.

Now to get you off to a good start we will re-set your restore points so that all the bad stuff is gone for good. Then if you need to restore at some stage you will be clean. There are several ways to reset your your restore point but this is my method:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System Restore.
2. On the dialogue box that appears select Create a Restore Point
3. Click NEXT
4. Enter a name e.g. Clean
5. Click CREATE

You now have a clean restore point, to get rid of the bad ones:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disk Cleanup.
2. In the Drop down box that appears select your main drive e.g. C
3. Click OK
4. The System will do some calculation and the display a dialogue box with TABS
5. Select the More Options Tab.
6. At the bottom will be a system restore box with a CLEANUP button click this
7. Accept the Warning and select OK again, the program will close and you are done



Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free program:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
• SuperAntispyware Run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Secunia Software inspector To check your programme update status
• Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?
Keep safe

NEXT re-run ATF and then run the Auslogic defrag

My computer still has a very fluctuating usage at the first 5 mins of startup, but other than that it should be fine =)

Thanks so much!
