Aug 24, 2010When I open task manager it says under memory usage that the process "system" is using 103,000 k this seems quite high and its only been using this much recently, I thought it might be a virus so I ran several scans using AVG, even a command line scan in safe mode and it found nothing malicious. Does anyone know why it would be using so much memory.

Jan 15, 2007My computer started running slow. I noticed in Task Manager that there were processes that ended in ' .t ' Running a search on my computer showed that there are over 100,000 .t files now on my computer. I've run Spy Sweeper, which blocks some of these from starting up, but won't get rid of them. Same with Spyware bot. What are these files? and how do I get rid of them?

Mar 17, 2008Has there ever been reports of this hogging resources in XP? I assume it's something that uses the CPU for other OS tasks when not in operation by the user. The problem is even when I'm using the computer it uses 97-99% of CPU.

Mar 12, 2010I recently installed a program to block my internet at night so I can get back in to a normal routine. The only problem is I can simpley go in to task manager and end process and repair connection and i can do what I want again. I want to stop me from using computer at night so i can get in to a good happier routine. In order to stop me acessing program i passworded it with password i could not remember off top of my head, tried to make it as random as possible. but because i can just go in process and end it... its kinda pointless.
I left it so I can uninstall it because well there maybe a valid reason why I need to uninstall it sometime... and i know better then to never leave one safe clause. I know I wont uninstall it tho but because its so easy to just go to processes and end it... its just to easy. So I wanted away in which I can block processes from been closed or hide it so I can't close it like that.

Nov 21, 2007I have a Athlon X2 4200 with XP installed. I have looked at process manager and I see the one processor is running flat out and the task manager graph says my system is running at approx 50%. Then when i look at the Process list it appears that System Idle Process is using around 99 to 95% of CPU time. There are no other processes listed using significant processing resources. So what is causing my one processor to run at full speed without being visible in Task manager?

Jun 22, 2006I have a Dell Latitude D610 Laptop, running on OEM Windows XP Pro SP2.I am a web developer, and naturally I would have development tools installed in my machine, including Microsoft Visual Studio (2003 and 2005), and Sql Server (2000 and 2005) and I have noticed an increase in my startup time. So i decided to set Sql Server to not automatically load its services on startup, so I can simply fire them up when I need them. As a result of this, i was able to decrease the startup time of my machine.However, lately although I haven't installed any other softwares, I noticed that again the startup time increased. I'm looking through the processes running in my machine as soon as I start up, and I found out that the processes are mostly "legitimate" processes (with the help of the Internet, as I've researched on each and every process). I have however found one process that ran by the SYSTEM, with the name WC72F4.exe. I have searched the internet and found no info on this. Even the mighty google doesn't have info on this. Anybody who can shed some light on this?

System Process Taking Up Too Much CPU
Apr 5, 2007This is not my pc, but my parents'. It is a Compaq Presario. It has a P4 3.06Ghz cpu, 1GB of ram, and runs XP Home SP2. I remember when my parents first got the pc it was very fast and stable, now however they complain of two problems.Firstly it is really slow, especially if your mouse pointer hovers over the taskbar or if you attempt to do most things with Explorer, like right-clicking. Sometimes this can lock the pc up for minutes at a time. The second problem is that it doesn't shut down no matter how long you leave it. The best it manages to do is remove power from the keyboard and mouse, and then only occasionally.I Have investigated the problems with the speed of the pc, and the problem seems to be to do with the system process. Task manager reports this process as using anywhere between 40% and 99% of the CPU all the time.My actions thus far have been to do a complete sweep with anti-spamware and ant-virus, and they didn't find anything. Next I ran process explorer, which showed that the system was using about 50% on deferred procedure calls, 20% on hardware interrupts, and 30% on the System process itself. Upon looking at the threads running in the System process, I discovered that the thread ACPI.sys+0x10b10using the entire 30%.
I must admit I don't really understand what ACPI is, but an internet search revealed it to be associated with pcs being unable to propperly shut down. For this reason I am now assuming that the two problems (unable to sut down and running very slow) are related. This is just an uneducated guess however.So can anybody suggest what the problem might be? Or how I might solve it?If you need any information that I have forgotten, I will gladly provide it.
Pro SP3 Locking Up During Defraging Process
Aug 23, 2009I recently formated my computer and reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP3 on my Western Digital SATA 500 GB hard drive that I had been previously using as a Slave in another computer. All has worked well untill I tried to defrag my computer. The hard drive is split into two paritions C: drive is an 80 gig partion with D: being 385 GB parition. When I tried to defrag my hard drives, (starting with the D: drive) it got to 68% then locking up. Since then when trying to defrag the D: drive it promptly locks up when it reaches 3% complete. Windows does not lock up when doing a scan disk on either parition however.I installed the western digital life guard tools to which in informed me that support for large hard drives over 137 GB was not fully enabled and asked if I wish to enable it. I said yes for it to enable it and it rebooted and tried to defrag D: drive again, with the same locking up happening at 3%.
Issues that maybe linked to the problem: Avast Anti virus when trying to run a virus scan also locks up on the computer however on the C: drive.My USB Keninston optical mouse for odd reasons I have to un plug it and replug it in almost every time I reboot or turn on my computer as the light on the bottom goes out during mid boot up process at the screen where it has you choose which user to log in as.
How To Kill A SYSTEM Process?
Aug 13, 2009For you Unix weenies (like me) how do you 'kill -9' a process on Windows XP Home edition? For everyone else (and especially Mr. Gates): How do you kill a process through Task Manager that is owned by SYSTEM? It is a BitDefender (virus scan) process (vsserv.exe) and I occasionally want to kill it just to get some work done on my machine. Task Manager says permisson denied when I try to kill it but I am an administrator on the machine.I tried creating a user account called SYSTEM and one called Administrator (to try and kill it by tricking Bill...oops sorry Mr. G) but in both cases Windows wouldn't create the account because it said an account already exists with that name. Well there are three user accounts created and they ain't Administrator or SYSTEM!

sometimes the error occurs 10 minutes later sometimes 1 hour later.when i dal to the internet my network connection icon(near the time in the lower right corner) says limited connection or there's no connection.
i think that's beacuse it cannot receive ip from my ISP.how can i solve this limited connection problem?i removed the drivers installed again, removed the drivers and installed the old ones.do a virus scan with latest updatesdo a system restore but nothig changes.
