Help please!

Hello.

I've had a problem with my new lap top. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 on a 2.2Gh Dual core.

Every time I turn my lap top on, after it finishes loading all the stuff, all of a sudden explorer.exe cpu usage jumps to 40~50% and won't come down until I finish the process and start it again through task manager. This is really annoying since I have to do this everytime it starts...

I have read many threads about similar problems. Although none of the solutions have worked for me so far...

This is really driving me crazy. I don't know what to do anymore .

Help PLEASE!

blink-182 fan? I am!

Did you try msconfig? to stop the start up programs?

 

[george182]

Yeah blink 182 fan lol..

Yeah I've already disabled most of programs. I just left the antivirus, audio and display drivers. Didn't work :/

Are you sure you're using it right? I'm not sure if you can disable audio and display from msconfig.

none the less do a double check.

click on start (orb)

search "msconfig" (no "") and hit enter, click start up and disable what you don't want. basically everything. just make sure you're on the START UP tab

This is no solution but it may make your computer more usable as you
continue to troubleshoot.

In Task Manager, Processes tab, explorer.exe right-click, then click Set Affinity.
Be sure that only one CPU is checkmarked.

Only one CPU checked. Okay, which one? lol... It displays two. CPU 0 and CPU 1

Coin toss.

Either one is fine. This way explorer.exe can only hog one CPU and leaves the other for other computer actions.

All right. Did it.

 

[Antihiatus]

[george182]

did it work?

Nope :/
Restarted it and once again damn explorer.exe burning cpu :/

 

[Antihiatus]

im not sure if it was covered. did you try sytem restore?

 

[george182]

Oh yeah. Serveral times. Although it doesn't work either. It comes back to a recovery point when it was working fine. It restarts and explorer.exe goes to 40 50% cpu again :/

If you haven't already, you could try creating a new User Account.
If the problem doesn't persist there, migrate by copying over your
personal files and delete the old account.
