Do the three finger Vulcan salute (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) to bring up the Windows Task manager. If you see a level 100% on the performance tab try these possible solutions. If you see near 100% CPU activity on the Processes tab by an "Image name" of Cisvc.exe, you might want to turn that service off. Description: Microsoft Index Service Helper, a service that monitors the memory usage of Microsoft Indexing Service (cidaemon.exe) and automatically re-starts cidaemon.exe if it uses more than 40 MB of memory. It's needed if you've set up any of your drives or directories to be indexed. Without it running, you could potentially invite a memory "hole", as the indexing service would not clear its RAM usage, as it goes. If you are not indexing anything, there's no need for it to run 1. Go to Control Panel Administrative Tools > Services 2. Click on the "Standard" tab at the bottom of the box 3. Click on the Name label to sort by Name. Locate "Indexing Service". Double click. 4. Change the "Startup type" to 'Disabled' 5. Click on "Apply" 6. click on "Stop" Another suggestion: 100 Percent CPU Usage Occurs When You Print on an LPT Printer Port SYMPTOMS Also see What Slows Windows Down See all Topics windows Labels: General, Reference, Tips, Troubleshoot, Tutorials <Doug Klippert@ 3:33 AM
