Poor Multicore Magnament
Aug 22, 2008
i have a Windows XP Pro 32 bit version with SP3 instaled, ive read multiple tweaks to increase the use of all my cores by windows but it doesnt asing threads to cores proportionally i have a Qx9650 at stock speeds for the everyday use.i made a test running Ultimate Zip cracker 4 times its a program made to work on single core procesors and they all run on the 1st core while the other 4 cores stay idle.they only way i can use the other 3 cores its asinging the affinity on the task manager but come on lets be realists i cant set the affinity to every thing i open.the ideal scenario would be if i open a program and the system checks that the 1st core its at 100% or nearly it should asing the task to another core but doesnt seen to work that way.so i mean whats the point getting quadcore if the windows will mostly squezee one core only.does anyone knows how to get windows split the work proportionaly on all cores?.

Advise if I'm wrong. A donation will be made for a solution!
It has Bullguard Anti Virus and it updates on startup, basically it is so slow that until bullguard has updated you can't do anything at all and this takes as long as ten minutes at times. by comparison, my own PC also has bullguard and although its a little slow until it has updated, it only takes a couple of minutes.
This is a P4 2660 Mhz Dell with 1gig ram and using AOL Broadband. I ran a HJT log as soon as the PC would let me, whilst the bullguard update was still sunning and it is as follows:
Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
Scan saved at 08:35:21, on 28/09/2008
Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16705)
Boot mode: Normal
I can also take a log once the PC is fully up and running ,My only ideas regarding the slowness is that there is AOL spyware and computer check-up software running at times along with the bullguard so perhaps its just too much. Also, is the couponreport.net item in the log safe?

Just done a clean install of a win xp system due to freezes and bsod's, after the install the performance is very poor, all the drivers are up to date, memtest has ran for 27 hours with no errors & i have also ran seatools for dos on a quick test with no errors, even connecting to a network via a lan cable is shocking and sometimes wont connect

Although the tray icon says I am connected at 2.2MB ADSL, my download speeds are no better than when I had a 1Mb connection.All speed tests including Bts own show a download speed of only 126KB/sec.BT is unable to explain but believe its got something to do with my system rather than their service, which seems logical considering the tray icon shows 2MB connection.No antivirus running, only zone alarm.

I hate Apple for many reasons I can get into the rest of them later, but what I have noticed is Itunes runs just awfully on my computer when I have a dual core processor, 2gigs of ram, an nice video card, well you can see that below on my signature and there are times on mine and other decent machines when it runs slow. This didn't make me happy in the first place until I saw Itunes 7 something running on a four or five year old IMac while doing two or three other applications and it running fine. So my hypothesis is either one of two things, both being unfavorable. 1. That Apple purposely programs Itunes to run awful and hog system resources on PC's so that it will look like Mac's run better than their faster PC couterparts. 2. That they hire people who know little to nothing about programming to develop Itunes for the PC, which is basically the same thing just a deifferent method.

I've glanced thru previous threads and am unable to find much luck with this We have a Sony Viao laptop running Windows XP Professional, service pack 2. The system appears to boot normally; until Windows is finished loading. That's when we notice the CPU fan begin to rev and very poor system performance.Opening the Task Manager, we quickly see that the CPU is running at 100%, and the processes tab is showing "svchost" to be the culprit.Knowing this, we've run the standard adware/anti-viral scans that only found tracking cookies and SpamBuster, which have been nuked from the system; yet the situation continues.

Have rebuilt my desktop, new mobo, 160G HD, 1G Ram. Mobo is a fujitsu that is listed on the HCI, but needs external video card - using Geforce. Win XP-SP2 from Tiger/OEM version. Did the install/format Hd, install finishes, restarts and does a particial boot -- Win XP main screen comes on, then screen flashes over to a poor quality XP main screen, and halts. Restart in Safe Mode, boot starts but when main screen should appear, horiz. lines and blue text type symbols, as if Geforce video card not being functional.
