I have been having some major issues with my mouse recently - anytime I so much as move my mouse (clicking does nothing) My CPU usage for Explorer jumps up, immediatly to 50% and if I make any slightly erratic movements, up to 99% It causes major issues in quite a few games, as well as totally screwing up any multitasking I wish to do
View 2 RepliesWindows seem to have a REALLY big problem when it comes to reading AVI files. It seems that when you click on an AVI file in explorer, it'll try to read the entire AVI file to determine the width,height, etc. of the AVI file this is displayed in the Properties window. Now the problem with Windows is that if you have a broken/not fully downloaded AVI file that doesnt contain this info, Windows will scan the entire AVI file trying to figure out all these properties which in the process will probably cause 100% CPU usage and heavy memory usage.

Is it possible I have some type of virus that is causing this multi-clicking of the mouse when I only click once. I did a full system scan with Norton and nothing is found.

If I use Windows Explorer to go deeper than the first level of any tree, CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there. I've disabled System Restore because it wouldn't let me go back in time anyway and this program is a known resource gobbler. Didn't help. I've attached a hijackthis logfile to see if anyone recognizes a Trojan, etc. I would appreciate any help at all.

how to stop double clicking on every icon and that'll probably mess you up sometimes. Well you think that you've clicked on it by opening it and you still waiting like an idiot sitting at the computer waiting for something to happen. Here's a solution for you: Click on the START MENU > CONTROL PANEL > NOTE: If you're in the new Windows XP mode in Control Panel - Click on the Appearance and Themes icon - If you have in the Classic mode then just simply click on the - FOLDER OPTIONS> Now you see the Click items as follows - go down to the little of Single Click to open an item - and if you want to you can click on one of Underline..... tools --doesn't do much though!

View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen having some rather strange issues with right-clicking. If I right click any executable file, my explorer.exe is killed (statusbar goes away, then appears again as explorer is reloaded) and started up again. I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it, but it's so hard to even search for a solution.

I am having odd freezes, mostly with Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer freezes when: I right-click on any file. I try to use the 'Edit' command from the main menu, unless I am in 'My Documents' or at a higher level. I right-click Windows 'Start' button. Can I re-install Windows Explorer? Is it a registry problem?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI recently got my HP back from Best Buy, where they had to 'clean' it due to spyware, adware problems (no more Kazaa for the kids). Evidently, I had the nail.exe file, in addition to others. After 12 days, they gave it back to me, completely clean (according to them), with Norton Internet Security installed - in the process they lost all my e-mail files, but oh well. Anyway, I haven't had the darn thing back 2 weeks and I'm getting 100% CPU usage, with explorer.exe being the main hog. When I delete it in the processes list, the CPU usage goes down to 4%. I really don't want to take this thing back to BB for them to keep for another 2 weeks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, 2.2 GHZ and 256 RAM.is constantly running at 98-100% CPU usage in task manager. I have run ad-aware, spybot, AVG, microsoft antispyware, checked my HJL for an strange occurences, ran chkdsk, This seems to be a pretty large problem, since i've been spending considerable time on the internet trying to find solutions, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWin Xp - Service Pack 2, I suspect the problem lays with a trojan dropper. In fact I'm certain. At the moment I am getting a trojan dropper putting random files into my temp internet files every 3-4 hours - the latest file being SQL.AVG?? Norton deletes it as soon as it appears but I'm certain its causing my 90-100% CPU usage on explorer. exe. Its been doing this for about the last week.
I've got all of these installed - ZoneAlarm, Norton, AVG 7.1, Ad-Aware Se and even Microsoft Anti-Virus. I updated them all and went into safe mode and ran every single one of them on full scan and none have found the culprit. When booted back into normal mode the trojan dropper has started again and cpu usage back up to 100% for explorer.exe. Basically everthing crawls after 5 or so minutes of reboot.
An interesting problem has come up recently. If I try to open My Computer to access some file or what not, instead of bringing me to the list of drives, I get a blank white space. It never loads. From here, I can Cntrl Alt Delete and clearly see that the CPU usage is at 100% and that it is Explorer that is taking up 99% of it. I end the task of opening my computer, and then I try again and everything is fine until maybe five minutes later when the problem reoccurs. I have run virus checkers and adaware and neither has shown any problem

I'm having a problem when i start up my comp. after logging into my user account, the monitor sorta "blinks" periodically.. as in, the wallpaper is there, but all the icons disappear. However, as soon as i open Norton Antivirus , the problem stopped (until the next time i restart the computer and log on).
On loggin in, I checked the cpu usage with taskmgr, and foud that it was goin pretty high (jumping frm 10%to 60% or 80%).. when i checked out the running processes, "EXPLORER.EXE" was taking up around 95% or so.
I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook (about 18 months to two years old) running XP Pro, and frequently I encounter a situation where, with no programs running, explorer.exe "cycles" in activity and CPU usage - for example, from 30,000 K Memory Usage to 50,000 K to 70,000 K to 90,000 K (over the course of 10 seconds or so), then drops back down to 30 or 40,000K and starts over.
