Is there a problem?
Is there anything else I should have done?

No you were supposed to reboot after clearing the events and before running VEW. The problem is your logs look too good to be true. There's usually an event
Type: Warning Category: 0Event: 4001 Source: Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfigWLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped.
These are my latest VEW logs;
VEW APP 5.txt 879bytes
289 downloads
VEW SYS 5.txt 1.01KB
290 downloads
As far as my machine is concerned ..................................... mostly good!
I get no 'Host Process' or 'Superfetch' errors, which was the reason for my post, my machine, however, is running very slowly.
It's never been very quick but it does seem very sluggish, especially when trying to open more than one atb at the same time.
This is possibly a consequence of being an old machine but, as far as I'm aware, I'm not asking it to do too much at any one time.
Can machines slow down just because they are old?
Thanks as always,
Slime.
Your hard drive is probably getting old and causing the slowness::
Windows (2952) Windows: A request to read from the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb" at offset 177594368 (0x000000000a95e000) for 8192 (0x00002000) bytes succeeded, but took an abnormally long time (83172 seconds) to be serviced by the OS. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.

Try turning off mobsync:
Hi RKinner.
1. A fresh Process Explorer log;
Pro Exp 4.TXT 3.76KB

2. Mobsync successfully turned off.
3. SpeedFan issue?
I ran it as Administrator but only after I got the following error report!
My machine has been running for a little while now and the temperature showing on my toolbar is currently 59°C.
I've also just gone to 'Windows Updates' and clicked on 'Check for Updates' and it's been checking for a while now. Is this normal?
Thanks as always,
Slime.
Speedfan has to be run as Admin. Not sure what your error means. If I understand you correctly you got that trying to run Speedfan without Run As Admin?
Your Process Explorer shows svchost eating up the 1/2 of the CPU's time. That's probably Windows Update. I don't think Microsoft likes Vista or Windows 7 and makes Windows Update take forever to encourage you to upgrade to a newer version . Sometimes it take 24 or more hours for it to finish looking for updates. Sometimes
the System Update Readiness tool will help:

Hi again.
I've definitely been running SpeedFan as administrator and still get the message!
I'm also using the System Update Readiness tool ............................................ and it's still searching!
It's been searching for just over 22 hours now.
Anything else I can do?
Many thanks,
Slime.
The error is caused by edatasecurity. They have their own libeay32.dll which is fine but they put the path for it in the Path before everything else so all programs look there first. If you don't use it,
uninstall Acer eDataSecurity Management. If you do use it then try getting the latest version. If that doesn't help then do:
Copy the next 2 lines:
set path > \junk.txt
notepad \junk.txt
Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Right click and Paste (or Edit then Paste) and the copied lines should appear. Hit Enter if notepad does not open. Copy and paste the text from notepad into a reply.
I assume you did not stop the original Windows Upgrade search first. You probably need to repeat what you did back in post 9:
http://www.geekstogo...s/#entry2577220
Then once you verify that Process Explorer looks good (svchost is not in the top) then try running it again. It still usually takes about 3 hours.
I now have the latest verion of Acer eDataSecurity Management, but it's made no difference!
What are the implications of uninstalling it? I don't think I am using it, certainly not consciously.
This is the Junk log you requested;

If you don't use it I think you can remove it. If I understand it correctly you can right click on a file and then encrypt it using edatasecurity. If you haven't done that to any files you probably don't need it.
I've just binned Acer eDataSecurity and, while I was at it, I got rid of a whole load of Acer programmes that I never use!
I still can't seem to find any Windows updates.
Looking at my update history it would appear that I installed some updates just five days ago, although they all relate to Microsoft .Net Framework!
This is my current Process Explorer screenshot;
Search for
services.msc
hit Enter
Find Window Update and stop it. Does the svchost drop off the top in Process Explorer?
Let's see some new VEW logs.
Hi RKinner
Sorry for the delay, I've been away a bit recently.
I've switched of Windows Updates and have the following logs for you;
VEW App 20-09.txt 9.51KB
296 downloads
VEW Sys 20-09.txt 17.72KB
298 downloads
Process Explorer 20-09.TXT 3.82KB
302 downloads
Thanks again,
Slime.
Delays are no problem. I don't keep track.
