For some reason, my services.exe file on my computer is hogging my CPU, usually holding around 70% of my CPU usage. I'm not sure at all why this is happening. I recently installed a Kensington Bluetooth adapter, could that be the problem? I started having this problem a few days ago, about 5 days after I installed the adapter...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI happen to notice the size of the WindowsSystem32 folder to be a surprising 892 MB. Checking the size of the Windows folder showed a 383 GB size on disk. Aren't these numbers a tad on the large side? Is my system failing to purge trash and temp files by attaching some strange extention on files? Are log files ever labled as anything other than .log? Or temp files ever something besides .tmp? Fellow tech freaks, I await thy wisdom. If I'm just being paranoid, and my OS folders aren't bloated, please pass on anything I can do to keep an eye out for commonly overlooked bad habits of windows xp sp2 including file and folder build-up, leading to sluggish start-up and general degrading of simple operations.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have large number of very big TMP files (averaging 300mb) that appear in WinTemp, with no applications open. They can appear in a very short period of time (a couple of hours), and I have to boot into Safe Mode w/command prompt to delete them. In a short period of time, they can obliterate as much as 30 gb of disk space. Is there a way to determine what program or utility is writing these files? And if found, is there a way to prevent them from being written? I'm running XP Pro, version 2002, SP2.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm not really sure if this is a Windows problem or a hardware problem, but I'm gonna start here and see where it goes... I'm working on a Dell Dimension 2400 running XPHE, SP1 which has, roughly, a 38 gb harddrive. All but five percent of the drive is filled, mostly with fragmented files huge, solid "chunks" of red, fragmented files. Programs installed and related files total almost 2 gb. Searches for photo, video and other possibly huge files found nothing. All installations considered, less than 10 gb of this drive should be used, yet there is only just over 2 gb available.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI hadn't changed my desktop wallpaper for a while and decided it was time for a change. After trying a few different images and changing them (with right click > properties > desktop> browse), I found one I liked and clicked apply. Then, for some reason about an hour later, the desktop wallpaper turned gray after I closed an explorer window. I restarted, but the desktop was still gray. I right clicked > properties. however, when i clicked the desktop tab, The cpu usage went to 100% for about a minute, but then the tab showed up. the weirdest thing is that now it not only shows the default windows choices, but it seems that it additionally has everything in my "My Pictures" folder listed. That is about 5 thousand images. This is probably why it takes so long to load the tab. My computer has never done this before. I want it back the way it was.

I have a serious problem with some huge vertical lines on my right side of the LCD screen of my Inspiron 9300. ( see picture below)The green(left side) bordered area is the area I can actually see on my screen. The red(right side) marked area is the area covered by the vertical lines. Because I'm not replacing this LCD AGAIN, and I don't have the money right now to buy a new computer, I was wondering if there is a program or anything that could let me resize and relocate the "screen", as the buttons on the normal desktop computer monitors, which let you move/stretch/reduce/center/etc the screen display,so that i can relocate the complete screen on the left viewable area of my laptop's LCD.[IMG]http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt38/tyeclipse/LCD%20Screen/Viewablearea.jpg[/IMG]
View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically today I bought a 250gb hitachi sata HDD, dvd drive and computer case, got home, assembled the lot. worked fine. Got my Win XP SP2 installation cd and stuck it in the drive... and started to boot it up... it read the disk just fine, but for some reason every damn time it gets to (Mylex EXR2000, 3000/AR160, 170, 352 Raid Controllers) at the bottom of the screen it just stays there and never progresses.
It's causing me so much hassle. I went into the BIOS, turned off all RAID related options since he doesn't even have a RAID. Then that did nothing, figured I would get rid of the SATA drive for now incase that was the issue, put back in the old IDE 20GB drive... same thing happened. Got another Win XP installation disc that i've used loads of times with no problems... but that one came with it's own error.... a missing file apparently? Anyways the PC is sat downstairs with the old 20GB IDE drive in it and the CD drive and not much else really. All raid options in the BIOS are disabled and my mind is falling to pieces.
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close I get this dozens of times a day and do not know why it keeps happening. I looked at the error report details which was huge and indecipherable and it said the following will be included in the report
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have win xp and my hard drive is literally vanishing while I watch. For example: I deleted nearly 7 gigs worth of stuff from it and checked properties on it, and during the course of a half hour it dropped from 7 gigs to approximately 8megs all by itself. I have not downloaded anything, but I have noticed for some time my space has been vanishing on me. I have msn internet service and it has been creating duplicate emails at an alarming rate. I m not sure if this is the culprit or not but when I deleted it i suddenly had 6 gigs back.
When I click on my Programs Menu and it shows my programs the columns are huge. I don't know how they got so big but I would like to make them smaller because there is no room for new installed programs to show in the columns.

When I set BITS, Background Intelligent Transfer Service to automatic & started using services.msc, after a while, maybe days later, it goes back to manual & stopped. When I look at http://www.theeldergeek.com/background_intelligent_transfer_service.htm it seems to suggest that I could set it either way.
