| | Oh-oh updates Hi, I just downloaded, installed, and restarted my comp. after the recent run of Vista updates. Right now explorer.exe is running at a really high mem. usage and taking over 50% of my cpu usage in task manager. My little computer sounds like it about to explode because the fans and hard drive are spinning at full speed. What update caused this? or what is going on? |

| | Re: Oh-oh updates Click Start > All Programs > Windows Update > View Update History. You should then see the most recently installed updates. Have recently installed an application other than Windows Updates that could also be affecting the performance?

Put in 4GB Crucial, all is peaceful again, but Vista is such crap I'm going back to XP, whist I look at into few Linux distros. Maybe you need more memory, or a less bloated OS. |
