forum drives cpu usage to 100%
danny_galaga:
it says 504mb of ram. which i guess is software talk for 512mb? i recall there being a small issue of definition of what a megabyte is. bugger. i was hoping i did only have 256 mb physical memory. would have been a simple solution... drive doesnt need dfragging either by the way (in case you were wondering). oh well...

This can also be a side effect of a bad plug-in, spyware, a virus; any number of things. Unfortunately, there is no one good answer, and we could conjecture all day on what the problem would be without having access to your machine physically.
I hope your search ends successfully.

Actually, since it's a nice round number that's the difference (8 Meg) then it's most likely that you have an on-board video card that is using that 8 meg as shared video memory.
As for the slowdowns, Click on Start, Run and type "msconfig". In the startup tab uncheck anything you don't want running.

Beware using msconfig. You can end up really screwing things up.
