Unknown process on my laptop. Mdworker help more

Hello. I was wondering two things on my laptop;

1. I found a process on my laptop called sysmond. I can't know what it is.

Could someone enlighten me? Thank you.

2. mdworker is somehow hogging 86% of my CPU. Tips on doing this fall?

Thank you

In my view, MDWorker I believe is linked to a spot and it can be indexing.

Apparently, you can reduce the amount of activity by reducing the number of disks they seek (go to System Preferences / spotlight / privacy, then click on + and select the drives that you want no index, for example all external disks attached)... I think that, responding only because you got no response.

    This is happening on a computer running Windows (will keep you with Mac)?

    If there is a problem on a Windows computer:

    It is possible that security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    My computer has microsoft outlook express.  Our supplier is the Charter.  my email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.  I have a new laptop and it had windows live mail.  I created a windows live account using my old email address.  I logged in my windows live email.  I received a message from the hotmail windows team, it was addressed to my * address email is removed from the privacy *.  I sent two skills my father, they were received by him of * address email is removed from the privacy *.  But when he answered me.  Instead of going to my laptop, it was sent to the home computer.  What is the problem, why I can't receive email on my laptop? Help, please

    If you have the same e-mail address on your computer and your laptop, what you should expect unless you set your e-mail programs to leave messages on the server of the service provider.  This is because as the prices by default, once you receive your e-mail, it is removed from the server, so when you go to get your email on the other computer, it's is no longer there.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Need help, PC laptop HP Pavilion 15 could not boot from USB external hard drive.

    My desktop HP Pavilion P7-1074 4.5 years computer dropped last week. Planed to get a replacement on Black Friday or the day after Christmas. But I have to run some programs inside hard drve to the desktop computer. So I have attatched hard disk dive from my desktop to my laptop HP Pavilion 15 USB port with an enclosure.

    The laptop would recognize the external hard drive as a SYSTEM (F 62.2 MB of free space of 97.9 MB, OS (GTB-free 1.11 of 1.35 TB and HP_RECOVERY (H 1.33 GB free of 11.0 GB.))) But I couldn't find the program I want to run.

    I went into the BIOS to set the boot order to boot from USB first, but I could not get the result I expected. The laptop still start on its own hard drive. I tried all three USB ports, no one works.

    Could someone help me please?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi @db69613,

    Welcome to the HP forums! It's a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I understand that you need assistance with your desktop computer HARD drive that is connected to your laptop via the USB port. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I'm just surprised at the levels of technical knowledge and technical skills that your possession. Hats off to you for this. It was very clever of you! It has been a privilege to have shared this platform with you and work with you.

    First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

    If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

    However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. I really hope that the issue is fixed without hassle.

    To simply say thank you, please click the "Thumbs Up" button for appreciate my efforts. If it helps, please mark this as "'Solution Accepted". " If you need more assistance let me know and I will gladly do whatever I can to help.

    Please take care now and have a wonderful week ahead.

  • Unknown process, sending data series to my instruments

    I have a couple of test stations that I develop software to test at the moment.  When I'm actually under them, there is no problem with the serial communication.

    However, if I let any of test stations on without the software running for an extended period of time, I'll check back often to find that one of my series devices (a 2510-AT Keithley) locked.  For awhile, I thought it was defective devices (strange that both had the same problem), until I found that if I left the serial cable unplugged it will break lock.

    I borrowed a tap from a colleague data (the version 9 pins on this) and attached a laptop for the link over the weekend, using PuTTY to monitor communications.  I'd keep a log of what it has, and I enclose below.  The first 3 lines have been sending me * IDN? queries to verify that the data tap and others were working.  I edited on the serial number, just in case, but the rest is the RAW file.  Does anyone have an idea, which could send the rest of the data?  It doesn't seem to make much sense, but there are lots of channels repeated in there, is probably not the right line random noise or something.  The two stations were using the built-in COM1 port of the PC.

    One of test stations I have an Agilent E3646A power connected to the station with a USB-to-serial adapter and a null modem cable.  Sometimes she page and throw up a ton of errors, which are all 'error 511', which the manual says is a framing error RS232.  I put the data on this line valve and sent a few * IDN?  orders with reset and commands activate the remote to check that it worked and concluded that some other process was sending * IDN? queries as well, they just don't have not been correctly formatted (they seem to not properly finish more have some end ASCII gibberish) for the device, so it threw errors.  I've also attached the log of this Putty session.

    I tried to use the technique in this article to find which process accessed the port, but it seems that no matter what either method uses it don't leave it open long enough for me to find.

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit at the time of these PCs, so that means Portmon doesn't work, and I can't find another utility that works in the same way.  Does anyone know of one?

    Anyone know if there is a process OR who could send these signals?  There are only a few of them running in the background.  I have 4 other devices on the first station and 6 on the second station with their own drivers as well, so I can't exclude the software of others.

    I really really to want to have to write the manuals of equipment for these stations and include phrases such as "power Cycle the device each morning to reset" or "Disconnect the serial cable when done for the night" or "ignore the power of Agilent errors."

    I can guess what happens. at least with the Agilient.

    you have failed to use an external hub with its own power supply and you neglected to put a serious surge protection on main power from the PC.  Pretty undesirable power pri is out to actually make windows think that the USB - serial adapter is pluged back in and some device (Agilient IO libraries?) Manager did a scan for USB TMC devices when the connection is "restored".

    Simillarly the PC power supply affects the COM port.  Kiethleys are known to have reported a clear feature "DCL" when they receive malformed commands of the noise.

    NEITHER track will eliminate any VISA request and confirm the electrical noise

    Recommendations:

    • Get a surge / UPS on this machine to guard against junk food to the line managers from air and other large expenses cleanroom.
    • Get bundles of cables with ferrites on them for the serial data lines.

    Alternate:

    F11 is the key you press on start to start the boot from the recovery Partition HP process.

    It is not a process of recovery of Microsoft.

  • HP dv6885se RAM not recognized by the laptop, please help

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6885se laptop which came with 3 GB of RAM. I took the 1 GB stick and put a 2 GB in. It is compatible and all, but the report of system is still saying I have 3GB of "Physical memory", although she ways 4 GB for "Installed". I have been informed that the 32-bit operating system can handle only 3.5 GB. But since I installed 4, shouldn't the "physical memory" read 3500MB?         I have Vista 32 bit, the computer can handle 4 GB of RAM DDR2 - 667 PC25300.   How can I get the computer to recognize that it's full of potential 3.5 GB?

    Its extensible so that if you choose the 64 bit version of Windows you can do

    and take full advantage of the 4 GB. If your laptop came preinstalled

    64 bit OS, then it would likely came with the 4 GB already and cost a bit more.

    Manufacturers should be a little clearer for people who do not understand

    the differences. Your MCM came with 3 GB because they, HP, knew that the 32

    bit version of Windows installed only use and see this amount.

    You can leave the 4 GB. It won't hurt a thing. If you decide to upgrade to the 64

    bit version that you will have to start from scratch on the installation. Not recommended

    If you are not familiar with the process.
