repair Windows XP registry needed. (windows live care scanner errors found but will not fix them)

I am running Windows XP with IE 8 and Norton 360. I do updates regularly and also use the Windows Live One Care Safety Scanner. Each Analyzer detects a problem sometimes, and fix it. The Windows tool still found some problems in my registry and fixes some but not all. I'm still running a slow processor but there are times when the hard drive starts to crank and system enters a State bound upward to do something that takes forever and finally unlocks. If I look in the Task Manager, it is usually System Idle Process and ccsvchst.exe which is cranking up the numbers in the use of CPU time CPU and MEM. I have also a ton of svchost.exe running. I would like an easy way of fixing and removal of registry problems and then making sure the running processes are legitimate and not set not a priority as they seem to be. Thank you.

If you have a problem with ccsvchst.exe, you do not have a problem with XP - you have a problem with Norton and it has long discussed performance and ccsvchst.exe problems accompanying the Norton forums.

No single AV tool seems to know everything and Norton is whatever is not because your system is not infected.  It simply means that Norton doesn't find anything he knows.  If all goes well, you use more than one tool of analysis, but not more than one both if there is a real time involved protection they'll get in the way of the other.

In some reviews, Norton has a reputation as one of the most famous system CPU and memory hog on the market - you could not picked up too more than AV tools with a more unfavorable reputation in this area, but some people really seem to it.  I think it's too fresh generals.

You can temporarily uninstall it (using their special uninstall of course), reboot and see how your system works without him and then decide if keeping it is 'worth it' or consider broadening your horizons AV a bit.

You can find out exactly how long your system takes to start down to the tenth of a second and determine exactly how long each process takes to start and then decide what to do (as opposed to guess).  For example, I know that my system takes exactly 28,03 seconds to start.

When you see a report and a chart of your startup process full of one end to the other, it's more revealing and informative.  If you want to do this, we can tell you how.

Unfortunately, the forums MS Answers don't ask not even basic on a system information when a new question is asked, so we know almost nothing about your system.

If you want to talk a bit, follow these steps:

Please provide additional information on your system:

Click Start, run and enter in the box:

Msinfo32

Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

You can also take a screenshot of your task manager or process and post it for review and analysis (there is an example below).

This is my standard copy/paste on the way to understand the multiple svchost process (what a ton of them means to you) that you see in the Task Manager:

You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost process if you use Process Explorer.

Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

Download Process Explorer from here:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG

The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

It is OK and normal to have several svchost running processes.  Important XP Services are actually runs under the svchost process. There are sometimes an XP Service that runs under a svchost process, sometimes there are several Services in XP, which runs under the svchost process.

Sometimes malware will hide behind a svchost process because the malware knows that you won't be able to find it in the Task Manager.  He will hide behind a svchost.exe process to deceive you, but you can outsmart it.

Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.

The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.

Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process.  It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.

If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use.  Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes.  Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused.  You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

To help understand your process svchost and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

Then with a few Google searches, you can watch every thing running behind your svchost process and Process Explorer and see what it is and decide if your configuration needs it or not and then decide what to do about this.

If you think you have a svchost.exe process amok, run using Process Explorer, you can right-click that offensive svchost, properties and on the Services tab and son, you can see which runs under it.

There is a CPU column it will expand (make the wider column) so that you can see CPU.  Maybe you can spot what background process is so CPU consumption under the svchost.exe process.   Stroll under the svchost process and you will find the problem.

You can also see what is running under each svchost simply by pointing your mouse on the svchost.exe process.  Some of them have just a things working under them and some will have several things (I hope that all the legitimate XP services) and some will have a lot of things.

If you have a svchost process that is afflicted, which runs under your afflicted?

No running process must defy reasonable explanation.

First, see what you can find using Process Explorer, then if nothing is obvious, additional advice.

    BT is recommended to use SSL, but your original question indicated that SSL was not taken in charge for SMTP on port 25. I think we'd better go on all your settings. Recommendations of BT are on this page: BT email: what are the settings for outgoing and incoming mail servers?, but they only work if you disable Avast scanning mail.

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties.

  • Windows 7 Home premium download updates, but will not be installed. I disabled norton, no dice. I have 26 updates to install. Any ideas? Thank you

    What now?

    Tip: Insert your office (2007? 2003?) CD into appropriate bay before installing next attempt... or run a repair or even uninstall/reinstall Office.

    Tip: If no joy, see if you can download the "fullfile" version updates via http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ or http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ and then manually install / them.

  • Windows Media Center detects digital channels on the air, but will not display them.

    To Feb. 1. 2010 my Vista Media Center has changed.  For example 1081 channel is now displayed in 1221.  Other Canadian channels were similarly renumbered.  Guide listings are correct.  The digital signal strength is all green bars.  My TV captures this channel 8.1 very well using the same antenna.  Everything has been working great until this renumbering.  Now only 2 of my 6-channel OTA work!  I love my Media Center for its PVR and want to come back!

    Dave, Blaine, WA, 98230 zip

    Update.

    The downloaded guide information are preferable.  Channel 1081 revives 1081 (instead of 1221), and it works!

    To sum up - around February 1, information (channel numbers) for several digital stations guide live has changed, and he followed that I couldn't receive the channels despite all my efforts.  My viewing dropped 5 2 stations.  With the latest download of zip code 98230, I'm at 4.  Good.

    There are two problems.  Channel 1021 (CBUTDT) is always numbered in 1581.  Despite the green bars in the "force of the digital signal", there is no photo.  I added manually 1021 nothing helps.  The second problem is that channel KVOSDT 1121 is still called by the BBC-3 guide with no ads, and it is not possible to assign KVOS ads to this channel, which disables the recording.

    I have the Olympics in HD, and I'm very happy for that!

    can anyone help to problem, keep getting error code.  Windows live photo gallery error 0 x 80004005. I remove the program and download it again and have same prolbem

    Windows Live Photo Gallery is a database that can
    corrupted. (it is not affected by the uninstall /)
    relocation of WLPG)

    If you rename the file... it will force the photo gallery to create a
    new database file the next time, it is launched and the Gallery
    will be as it was the first time it was launched.

    I'm not positive that this will solve the problem that you are
    dealing with but if you want to test, the file name
    is... Pictures.PD6.

    Just rename it to OLDPictures.pd6. This can cause you to
    lose tags and metadata that are not rewritten on
    the photo files.

    The path to the file is:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6
