CPU max'd out Windows ME
Anybody know what causes the cpu utilization to peg out at 100% even if no applications are running with Windows ME OS? I have run numerous virus / spyware scans to clean off spyware but still get the 100% cpu condition.

Read this and down load the WINTOP program. iIt will tell you what is running and what percent of the cpu time is being consumed by each. It is a simple program and works real well. I have been using it for some time.
To understand what tasks and programs are running on your machine, may be causing problems and taking up the processor bandwidth, download WinTop, one of the free Micro$oft Kernel Toys. It gives accurate % CPU usage by program. Also use the Windows ME System Tools - System Information utility to find all programs running and all programs, DLLs and Drivers loaded into memory. Wintop can be obtained from here: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/index.html
