I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista when it released as preordered from Amazon.
Lately, I noticed my system running a bit sluggish and found that my CPU resources are usually 100%.
I found currently that iTunes and Opera are 2 of the culprits of that when I check my Task Manager along with MSN Messenger.
Is there a way to fix this problem? Any solutions are much appreciated.
Thanks. 8-)
Dont use em? :)
Plenty of alternatives for both.
Opera 10.5 is fine but its usually iTunes that does the problem.
Any iTunes alternatvie as I got an iphone and have to use iTunes to put music onto it.
I think at some point a while ago iTunes on my computer started to do something similar and it ended up being due to the kontiki/kservice skyplayer thingymajig.
Any fix for iTunes to prevent it happening?
in task manager, under the processes tab, go view / select colums
and add the ones for cpu, cpu time, ane memory etc....
always helps with this kind of problem solving ;)
Thanks knighty. What am I looking for when I have done this?
anything thats miles ahead of the other stuff running...
loads of cpu time, or mem used...
right now... I have...
system idle process 984 hours
firefox 10 hours
bit torrent just over an hour
and everything else is practially only a few min or sec...
(mine is on 24/7 doing nothing most of the time)
might not help you at all.... but has helped me a few times in the past :-)
Cheers for that. Appreciate it. Maybe I need a PC to replace my 3 year old laptop which as a 1.66GHz processor in (Intel Dual Core).
How much RAM you got?
Currently 2GB. I already upgraded it once from 512MB.
