just to be sure,...
if one service was okay, do i keep it checked and restart with another one (first restart=1 service, second= 2 services...and so on?)

or is it the startup that i need to check??? ^^""

When you're done with services, and everything is still fine, start re-enabling startups, one-by-one.

errrrrh...problem again ^^'

I don't have internet anymore. I'm using another one to write right now...

I did like you told me...one by one, at the second try (2 checks) it restarted without internet and everything was stopped.
When I tried to open an app (like msn) it took 99% of thr CPU, and so on for any app.

So yeah....thats pretty much it, even if i go in Start>Conrol Panel>Network connection its empty, i dont haby anything anymore... =/

What was the 1st, and 2nd service, you re-enabled?
Did internet stop after re-enabling 2nd service?

the first was Adobe Active File Monitor V6 and thr 2nd was Ati Hotkey Poller.

Internet stopped atfer I enabled Ati Hotkey Poller. And it won't come back since.


If I dont try to open anything its the System Idle Process that uses 99% of the CPU

Did you try to uncheck Ati Hotkey Poller service, and restart computer.
Most likely, you don't need that service to be running at all:

ATI Hotkey POLLER provides the ability to hot key your display settings for what ever reason you would need this feature.
Disable the service if you do not use hot keys for ATI software.

Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew


Restart computer.

Oh, internet is back now ^^
And I can open apps too without having my CPU at 100% (even if for some reason my System Idle Process is still around 80-99 CPU but it doesnt affet my CPU usage)

Excellent :)

my System Idle Process is still around 80-99 CPU

No, no, this is perfect. It's how it suppose to be. System Idle shows you CPU NOT used.
