Enter 'My videos' in XP MCE 2005 causes ehshell.exe operate at 100% cpu.

I am running XP, MCE 2005.  Media Center works well EXCEPT when I go to "my videos".  When I do the computer slows down to almost completely stopped.  The ehshell.exe file begins with almost all of the cpu by itself - Power Manager tasks shows the CPU to 100% usage.  Even when I can finally quit Media Center, ehshell.exe works still occupy almost all the power of the processor.  I deselected all directories to make it look like videos - so it should not be taking the time to search for videos (although the root C: videos show always upward).  I can go to TV, music and photos within MC and all is well.  The only way for me to make it stop is to restart or 'stop process' in the Task Manager.  Any idea?

Hi ssscott,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 when was the last time it was working fine?

3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • E10: Update Rollup 1 for eHome Infrared Receiver for Win XP MCE 2005

    Hey all, yet another question.

    I'm on Qosmio E10 with MCE 2004.
    When I go to "Windows Update" I see something called "Update Rollup 1 for eHome Infrared Receiver for Windows XP Media Center 2005" (KB888795) Edition "»
    It is optional and install it I has yet because I'm not sure if I'm supposed to install at all since I'm on MCE 2004.

    I read another thread on this forum saying that this update completely screwed the infrared receiver on some configurations.

    So, question: Toshiba recommends installing this update for MCE 2005 on an MCE 2004 installation?

    (I was surprised that it appears in Windows Update despite my MCE 2004..., perhaps a bug of Microsoft?)
    Later,.

    Alcahest

    Hello

    My opinion is: don t touch a system running unless you are talking about an update to security... but MS recommends the update, so you can do the update, but it is at your own risk... as far as I know, Toshiba do support the software they offer with unit... not necessarily MS Update.
    In this case, you can try to run the update. If something goes wrong, you can roll back the OS with Restore tool.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G30 / Windows MCE 2005 + SP3

    Hi guys,.

    Had some problems with SP3 on Windows XP MCE 2005.

    Once installed my cable TV box is no longer works, continues to come up with an error.

    I read many forums with questions on MCE SP3, but none of the solutions have worked for me...

    Anyone had problems?

    Matt

    Have you had problems with SP2?
    Of course, it could be that there is no problem with SP3 on MCE.

    And what error you get exactly?

    Search on the site of Toshiba for the driver and BIOS updates:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online support => Toshiba download drivers

    Last but not least, look for an update for your TV decoder or reinstall it.

  • How can win XP MCE 2005 restored in Chinese language, I change to English?

    I got my windows XP MCE 2005 of a disk partition on my laptop Asus A - 8J but recovery after that is in the language Chinese (maybe because it was bought in Taiwan)

    During my recovery, I think that the first page asks the language options, but everything is written in a Chinese language, how can I select the English language?
    Now everything is displayed in Chinese and I can get to the control panel > regional and language Option > language tab > Details button, but how can I change the language that everything is always displayed in Chinese.
    Please help to change display and the input to the English language.

    Hello

    The option for English on the language selection screen should be in English.

    During installation, you can select English in the locale.

    You can also change these settings in the control panel as well by going to the regional and Language Options:

    If you can't navigate through the windows in Chinese then you should try the English selection during a new installation of Windows XP.

    Hi, bb4.

    I have successfully run MCE2k5 with SP3 on multiple computers (including my old desk, which got a relocation prior to sale - and he works as a fully functional Media Center); but there is a big gotcha when it comes to do a clean installation of MCE2k5:
    You can just install SP3.  There are a multitude of updates (both for Windows itself, as well as regards the Media Center) that must be installed before installing SP3.  Made out of use, it breaks the Media Center.

    So, my question is the following:
    At what point in the cycle of updating after installation you installed SP3?
    If you wish, I can dig up my own installation guide MCE2k5/SP3 (that is tried, tested and works) and post for you.

    Kind regards

  • wifitask.exe causing 100% CPU use

    I use Windows 10 and realized that my computer is very slow. I tried to use flash for a meeting and it was so slow it wouldn't load. I checked Task Manager and noticed that my CPU is at 100% usage. I ended up most processes that were not required to run windows nothing helped, but when I closed wifitask.exe, the CPU would go from 30 to 80%. However, after a short time, wifitask.exe causes somehow himself to run and CPU usage was 100%. What exactly does wifitask.exe do? I can remove it or do I have to reinstall something? I also noticed that svchost.exe and lsass.exe use about 25% CPU each but what I've seen, that's normal? wifitask.exe shows that it only uses about 15%, but it's the only thing that removes the CPU usage when I finish it.

    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I have worked on this all night and to meet soon. Thanks in advance.

    Defender (MSE) is by far the cause.  It is using 45 + % CPU and is also the largest process of writing the disk.  Because it is part of the OS, you can not uninstall & re-install so your options are limited.  You can install an app different malware that automatically turn off MSE

    There is evidence (on earlier systems) that restricting directories Defender scans can reduce this effect, but I can't find any reference to win 10.

    If you decide to change applications malware ESET (eset smart security) and AVG seems to work without any problem in 10122

  • Svchost.exe (netsvcs) 100% cpu - update of Windows *.256 cause - update forever checks as does Defender.

    Hi, I got 100% usage cpu choking my system Toshiba laptop L300 Vista 32-bit, cause - (netsvcs) svhost.exe in time real trouble was unknown and tried everything has failed. So I did a complete new installation and fully updated to SP2 then the next update and it required me to download the latest update to terminant.256. My system is now unusable with constantly check and update svchost.exe using 100% cpu. All is well until I start to WU and I restore prior to this Windows Update Agent... Also if I close just the update it is still short in the background using 100% cpu by svchost.exe (ntsvcs) until I have manually stop the service.

    I have:

    Disabled Windows Firewall and Avast antivirus.

    I tried all the things as well in safe mode.

    Installed costs.

    Followed the instructions found on the net

    In offline mode, downloaded and installed the latest update which is the same as that.

    Whenever I have restore before this update, it works very well. The download of the update even if I have restore and install only the off-line version, it cripples even with 100% cpu and without end of audit. He made also Defender without end of audit.

  • svhost.exe causing 100 cpu

    My computer is running at a snail pace because the svchost.exe uses 100% cpu ALL the time.  It's almost impossible to open and close programs.  I'm only able to use my computer if I stop the process through the Task Manager.  I would like to find a fix for this if possibel so I didn't complete the process each time I want to use the computer. O running all tests antivirus and registery scans I can think.  I thought it must be some kind of virus, but I can't find anything.  Help, please!

    You can determine exactly what causes most of the problems by following the steps below:

    Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    However, even if the System Manager recognizes the presence of the TV tuner, Media Center is no longer 'sees' as being installed.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Windows XP behaves as it should and no error is generated. However, Media Center still refuses to 'see' the tuner.

    If I do system restore and restore to OS to forward these updates day and then MC works very well.

    Does anyone else have this problem? In addition, no one knows which of these updates is causeing it or have a fix?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I have no idea why MS updates cause this problem, but if the windows OS recognizes the TV tuner and if the TV tuner is listed in the device manager then it would mean that the TV tuner works correctly.

    I think the MCE is the problem.
    Are you using the latest MCE?

    Here you will find the official page of MS MCE:
