Roxio Program Usage 100% Cpu Wokring
Jun 3, 2009
I have a Compaq Presario desk top computer, and my wife has basically the same computer as mine (also a Compaq Presario), but in lap top form. Hers is about a year newer than mine. My computer came with 1GB or RAM, and I installed another 1.5GB about a year ago (by replacing one of the two 512mb memory cards with a 2gb card), and now I have a total of 2.5GB of RAM. My computer model, according to Compaq, is expandable up to 4GB.
In the last month or so, I've got into using DVD ripping programs to abstract video from discs and into my computer. Using Roxio at first, a 25 minute television show was taking about three hours to complete, with a video file of only 578MB being produced. On this particular program, there is no settings to produce a smaller or larger file. I have to say that the DVD rips were coming out just as good as the DVD version when I played back the "wmv" file in my computer, so I was very pleased with that, at least.....

since a few days my cpu has always cpu load of about 90 % at core 2. Vista is very slow. Taskmanager shows no applications with cpu usage. Now i installed process explorer and i can see that 45% cpu usage (this is 90% of core 2) is for "System / hardware interrupts". Which interrupts are the problem, what can i do to fix this?

up until this week when i downloaded files were large, windows automatically compressed them, placing them in a folder with a zipper on it. all of a sudden it does not do that anymore. that part of vista is not working. my computer is a month old. i understand that this automatic compression is intrinsic to the vista system and may not have a file extension. how can i repair vista to get this feature back.

I have a Samsung DVD Rom which I have put into my new PC from my old one. It's only about 3 years old and worked fine in my old PC. Vista found the driver necessary and installed it. Worked fine. Last night I tried to use Roxio to copy a cd which ended up with Roxio crashing. I had to reboot. Once rebooted, Vista told me it was installing a device driver for a Semwung DVD-ROM$SD-616E$ATA device. This has left me scratching my head as to why my Samsung is now a Semwung! Any ideas? Also, I have noticed over the last couple of days that someone/thing keeps changing my homepage. I've run Spybot and my antivirus scanner and had 5 tracking cookies and have got rid of them. Is there any way I can find out what keeps changing my homepage? Once whatever it is tries to change my homepage and I try to use Explorer to surf the web, I get directed to a Norton page telling me something's tried to change my homepage but won't tell me what or what to. I don't think my current problems are connected in any way

I have Roxio Creator 9 (which works fine on my desktop XP machine) on my Vista Sp1 laptop and cannot use Cineplayer. After the flash screen shows for several seconds I get "Cineplayer has stopped working" and a second message asking to close the program. I did a clean install (twice) and all other Creator applications work as expected.

I have used Roxio Creator 9 and MyDVD 9.0 DE for a while, until I reinstalled my OS. Now I get the following error message: [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Rahul/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png[/IMG]"All your drives are set to disabled. On this operating system, in order to start Roxio Creator DE you must either physically remove your drive(s) or enable at least one drive." I want to stick with Roxio, and I don't want to pay for anything.

On my old XP machine I could go into the "sound" option, select recording options and check the "stereo mix" box, then play a song in Windows Media Player and record in Roxio or another sound recording application. This was a useful way to convert song files from one format to another (for example, from wmf to mp3, or from some proprietary iTunes or Rhapsody format to mp3). This option isn't available on my new Gateway running Windows Vista. The new sound menu has "Recording options" and "Playback options". Under "Recording options" it only has Microphone, Aux and Line In. None of these work for recording from the computer. Is this a limitation of my machine, or of Vista? Is there a way around this problem? How do I record from the sound card in Vista?

It appears that Roxio BackupMyPC files cannot work in Vista. Fine, so why do Roxio want the customer to purchase another version inorder to access previous software files? Are there any alternatives to open these files in Vista?:

After I installed SP1 today, all third party burning software will not recognize my DVD drive as a burning drive. I can only burn from the embedded windows burning software.

Something happened on my PC and suddenly my Pictures Folder had changed. All my pictures got a blue square with two white chevrons in left corner. I suspected that Roxio 10 took over my pictures marking them in this peculiar way. It was not. Uninstalling Roxio didn't in getting rid of the horrible "mark".

I'm putting together my new system which will be running Vx64 OS. I own both Nero 9 full and Roxio's Creator 20009 Ultimate and trying to make a decision. As far as I can tell both offer about the same burning / editing options and seems kind of silly to install both if I really only need one or the other.
Nero 9:
Pros-
• Have been using it for some time and am used to its settings
• Have bought all the plug-ins for it............

I have not been able to get my Roxio Easy Media Creator to work. When I click on any of the icons, it says that the 'certificate is invalid or corrupted' and wants me to reinstall it. Is there some way of repairing this short of a complete reinstall? I have the Roxio disk supplied by Dell and I was hoping to get away with not having to completely reinstall the program. I have no luck with that stuff.

At idle, I have 50% cpu usage at times. It seems to be msiexec.exe. I have absolutely no idea why. Is this a normal Vista behaviour? Second, at startup I have 67 processes running, then it jumps to 72, then back down to 67. I had this amount on my XP pro machine, but had probably over 60 different programs installed, as it was a shared machine with CAD programs, graphic design software, etc. Now I only have vista, adobe cs3, blackberry, and office... And for my final question, Why does eSata not able to "hot-swap"? Is this normal as well (sorry, I've always used firewire for my external drives, but now I'm trying to use eSata)

After installing Vista Ultimate, I am experiencing problems with processes using an excessive amount of CPU. However when I run the task manager, and clicking on "Show processs from all users", I can't see which process is responsible since none is consuming more than a few percent of the CPU.My computer is obviously very slow and I haven't installed any program yet.

I think I have tried everything and I am not computer savoy enough to try some. But recently my computers CPU has been fluctuating a lot and has been pretty slow..I took off most of the start up programs and only have a few (virus software etc) but I was wondering if maybe it could be not by updating my drivers.. or bc i only updated some of my drivers.
I am currently running
4 gigs ram...
ATI Radeon HD 3200
vista 64 bit
professor amd duel core..

I've just had my computer for a few days and I've noticed that the CPU usage meter is at 60% all the time now (even when it's sitting idle).. where it was usually less than 10%. The realiabilty and performance monitor shows that something alled "LOCAL MANAGEABILITY SERVICE" "LMS.exe" is continually using 50% of the CPU. What is this manageability service and why is it consuming 50% of my CPU power?

When I am downloading my CPU is at 100% and as a result my computer slows down. I have AVG installed and have scanned my computer and have found no viruses or spyware. I have checked the task manager and there is a process called System - NT Kernal & System and it runs at 70% when downloading - surely this isnt normal.

I've had Windows Vista Ultimate for a while, and recently I've been noticing that the pc is using a large amount of memory. While playing World of Warcraft, it sits on 1.5 GB of ram out of 2GB, and everything slows right down. I also have 1 Firefox window open, but I added up all the memory usage in the Task managers 'Processes' bar and it doesn't add up to that much. It also says I have 56 processes, only 23 of which show up in the processes panel. Im really not techincally minded, I just had hoped that when i first got this pc that 2GB of ram would not have been used up so easily.

I'm new to this forum and I think it's a really really useful forum. I have an HP HDX X18-1275 laptop which has two hard drives. The problem I have is that drive C usage is reported about 120GB but when I even show the hidden files and uncheck the check mark to protect system files (in Folder and Search Options), when I select all the files shown and right click and then select Properties, the reported size is only almost 46GB ..... (almost one third of the number reported when I right-click on the C drive itself and select Properties) ....... Anyone know the reason? Are there any files not being shown and responsible for this HUGE gap? By the way, the disk usage for drive D is accurate and there's almost no difference if I right-click on the drive and select Properties, or select all the files and folders in the drive and get their properties.

1) before disabling it my RAM usage was always under 50%. it mostly remained around 33% to 45%. when i significantly reduced its size to 200MB fixed, i still didnt see change in RAM usage.
2) after disabling page file my RAM usage would start at the same 33% and after some time easily get over 50%. even upto to 68-70% which it never touched before.
3) there was also a very visible performance boost.
i measured RAM usage with the multi metre sidebar gadget. it is not a one day usage. i have used pagefile for over a year and no paging for a month.

Okay just re-confirmed a solution to two simultaneous problems that I think will be helpful to folks. Soon after I got my Vista x64 pc I started noticing huge constant CPU usage spikes attributed to dcomlaunch.
Turned out it was my ATI video card's HDMI audio driver. Go to device manager, expand sound, video and game controllers, and disable "ATI HDMI Audio". Problem solved instantly. My CPU usage dropped from ~30-40% constant use to <5% average.
Fast-forward 6 months after I upgrade to sp2. I notice that in PhotoShop and a couple other apps that use old-school file open/save dialog boxes, I can't choose a new file location from the "Look in:" drop-down menu at the top of the box. Every time I click it, the menu opens and then immediately closes again. Infuriating! A couple days later I notice my CPU has been working overtime too. Could it be the ATI HDMI Audio device is active again?
Yup, there it was active again. And this time I see there are (2) of these devices (I have 2 ati cards) and my CPU usage was up to >60% average! (2 x 30%). Insane. Again, I disable and usage drops back to nearly 0. Yay!
Amazingly, this ALSO SOLVED the problem with the file open / file save drop down menus. I re-enabled the ATI devices to test and confirmed that this was the cause of both the CPU usage AND the odd problem with the pop-up menus closing instantly.
