exlorer.exe at 99% cpu
not too long after i boot my computer, ( within an hour or two) explorer.exe starts taking up all the cpu time. to my knowledge i have no spyware (just ran adaware and spybot). I can go into task manager and kill explorer and then restart it, but i'd like to know why it does this and if there's a better solution.
any advice would be great (this is on my laptop, which is a dell, not the build below) Last edited by wutzu; 10-18-2004 at 11:40 AM. Reason: clarification |
