Hey…
I’ve recently ecountered an issue with my PC the details are as follows;
Windows XP Pro SP2
Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 512M
My computer has been having troule with the explorer.exe process. I’ll try copy a file or even right-click in an explorer window and the process will jump to 100% and stay there anywhere from 3 to 6 mins, then it will go back to normal.
According to Taskman I have anywhere from 40 – 45 processes running. Most of them I’ve checked out and they’re valid processes, others are programs I’m currently running. However, I can have as many as 8 SVCHOST.EXE processes at one time. I’ve checked them out via “tasklist /svc” and they all appear proper. Of course everytime I see MSMSGS.EXE I kill it. 🙂
My PF usage is listed at 356MB. Hell I’ll list what my system is at right now;
TOTALS – handles 10575, threads 491, processes 49.
PHYSICAL MEMORY – total 523504, available 96400, system cache 182368
COMMIT CHARGE – total 364872, limit 2064236, peak 379332
KERNEL MEMORY – total 86900, paged 58700, nonpaged 28170
My CPU usage is currently at 2%. I’ve just used Explorer to delete a file… the CPU usage is now at 100% and the other vales haven’t changed significantly. However Explorer is now using 70M – 90M of memory in the process list. That time it took 6 mins to return to normal.
I seriously need to do something about this OTHER than reimage my system. That gets annoying after awhile.
High points awarded due to annoyance factor.
