maybe you want to use ProceXP to check and see what other suspecious dll
files or exe files are executing with explorer.exe
i had similar problem on my comp as well, and i am using core 2 duo ... i
still do experience it abit, what i did was i close all the program also my
game... once the explorer finish running, the cpu usage came back down to 0
percent...
btw, i am using RC SP1 for Vista... and yes, it does has abit of that kind
of problem too... are you using SP1 ?
