• HP ProBook 6550 b / WL560AV: hppa_service.exe with 24% of the CPU

  I had some problems with my laptop and the process of troubleshooting, I downloaded and installed the HP Support Assistant.  Since the reboot after installation, the resource (resmon.exe) monitor showed HPPA_Service.exe at the top of the list for the use of the CPU, stable running, between 24% and 25%.

  I don't remember whether I gave him permission to install/run Power Assistant.  I don't think it worked before; If she she has never appeared as a problem anywhere so I was not aware!

  I don't want HPPA_Service.exe to 25% of my cycles use cpu full time.  What is the best way to make it stop?

  You can uninstall programs and features. If you want to reinstall you can find on your support page.

• X 61 restarts on shutdown when Western Digital "My Book World Edition" is online.

  I recently installed a My Book World Edition (White Light) 1 TB drive on my network home. Three out of the four computers on the network have no problem with the drive. These three include two Windows XP computers running Norton Internet Security 2009 which can be found on the cable part of the network. The third computer running Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit) and Norton 360 on the part the network wireless.

  My fourth computer is one that has the problem. It's a Lenovo X 61 IBM ThinkPad Tablet PC under Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit) and Norton Internet Security 2009 (in addition, please note that one of the user of the laptop has enabled the BitLocker encryption). Whenever the drive My Book World Edition is online on the network, the ThinkPad doesn't stop correctly. Instead, the computer automatically restarts with an error message saying that it stop unexpectedly.

  I did a broad diagnosis of the problem. There is no problem at all if the MIMBOE drive is not on the network, and first of all, the problem occurred when I installed the drive. If I disable "SSDP Discovery" service with "msconfig", then the problem goes away. I temporarily replaced the SSDPSRV. DLL (the "SSDP Discovery" Service Manager) file on my computer with the same file from the Vista computer work, but there was no change, if the file is not corrupted. I disabled all services that depend on the service 'SSDP Discovery', but the problem occurred again until 'SSDP Discovery' has been enabled.

  Help, please. Currently, I have to wait about 20 minutes for my computer to give up trying to stop before I can turn it off. (I can usually managed to close properly if, after it restarts spontaneously, I can't connect and I quickly select "Shut Down" from the login screen before completing the startup completely.)

  Solved.  It seems that the Western Digital driver blocking going to pull apart the My Book World Edition when Windows is shut down.  I don't know why things work correctly on Windows 7 Ultimate computer cable, but repeatedly crashes on my laptop using Wifi.

  I wiped and reloaded 7 before I was certain that the discovery software is at fault.  You can manually mount the NAS without installing discovery, which is probably the best option, but in my case, I didn't want to reinstall a 3rd time.

  Looking at the driver files loaded for the WDMBWE in the Device Manager, you will see on called WDMBW_1NC.dll which is located in C:\windows\system32.  This is the only file in the list that is specific to the NAS.  I made a backup of the file to the desktop, then renamed the .dll in .bak file.

  Grip closure have been eliminated.  I am still able to access the drive using the standard address:

• Exe Explorer file process uses all the computers memory RAM

  I googled this question in many different ways and read the post until my eyes crossed. Tried several different

  ideas, checks, analyses, etc.

  This is on a Dell inspirion 3847 running Windows 7 Pro Service pack 1

  a Intel pentium CPU [email protected] Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD (no graphics card or any other card in pci slot)

  a brother MFC7360 n printer connected to the USB port.

  and the HD: (drive C O/S: 855 GB free of GB 909), (recovery E Drive: 17.5 GB free of 47 gb)

  The extent of the installed software is minimal, (only notable is Office 10, digital meal)

  (Digital software dining room is for the POS system), this computer is not the main computer that is running the POS system

  This computer is just linked to the actual POS in bar. (I stop this program and does not affect the)

  problem or situation that we were conducting.)

  (I can give list if necessary other software that is installed).

  And the essentially the only files on the computer (in addition to operating systems, programs, etc.) are Office, "Word files,

  Excel files.

  And a few txt, rtf, pdf, files (very small amount).

  first just noticed recently what happens, but I'm not the primary user on the computer. I checked

  and it seems that no new software or program have been recently installed or changed.  I have a little

  understanding of what the process Explorer exe is and it functions. (NOT a PRO, not a total newbie,)

  If all goes well enough to find help, and not enough to totally screw up.)

  I'll be watching this thread several times per day until solved if need more information, I'll give you...

  Here are the details of the problem:

  random computer freezes, or runs very slowly or get "out of memory" message (during the attempt

  to open any random program) and when...

  I opened the the Task Manager and in "processes" tab, it shows that there is:

  2 examples of "Explorer"exe "running... it uses a small amount of RAM (approx. 10-15 mb)(with nothing)

  Open, other than the Task Manager). Another example of "Explorer"exe "uses (starts on the same amount of)

  RAM use, without having to open anything else) it will start using more and more RAM up to uses almost all

  the available 4 gigabytes of RAM. Also during this process it uses randomly between 0 and 99% of the CPU.

  The CPU usage seems to vary (couldn't see any stable model).  the amount of RAM used begins bass

  then goes very high and the rest standing for this purpose during a random time. (then sometimes descends

  on its own within 1-5 min.). (sometimes does not lower for awhile). More details needed let me

  know, I'll check all speeds or time it takes for the situation to occur, (if necessary)

  TASK MANAGER:

  I opened the location of two Explorer exe files (both take me C/Windows"... ». (same for both

  not a system 32 file, or any other subfolder, just to 'Windows '.

  The two exe process explore "Descriptions" are listed as Windows Explorer.

  I have "Complete the process" towards the 2nd exe explore (one with high memory usage), just that process and she stops to

  a short period of time (and all works well for the time), but even once, it reappears (no exact time frame on how long until)

  Returns), (can check again and again, if necessary), to see if time is right each time to restart the process.

  If I "End process" to the 1st exe explorer (one with normal memory usage), I lose my office. (which from what

  I understand what needs to happen).

  Also get the same results if the process of "End process Tree" for the 1st and 2nd explore exe.

  Checking "properties" of two everything seems the same info. On the 'details' tab shows all of Microsoft, not

  of course, what happens if an info is important. (any info where necessary, I get and publish as needed).

  I know more and different information is no "resource monitor". but was not sure what would happen if, any info of

  It has been necessary.  If necessary you will get what that is. (let me know this as necessary).

  I've scanned any computer with 3 different anti virus (found nothing) programs

  I ran spybot search & destroy found nothing that had to do with this issue and fix some other issues that we found.

  A little info in 'Folder Options' (the 'windows folders in a separate process to launch' is NOT checked.

  and all the options are defined for the default settings (I think) (not sure if this is important)

  like I said read several messages in various forums (on similar sounding problem)... Some say spoke with

  Microsoft technical support who say 'must be the virus', others say started after the recent "windows update" and others

  say the problem of virtual memory and others say he's changed banks 'office' or the 'thumbnails previews.

  These files, and the other says "shell extensions" are the problem. (many recommended (ShellEXView), to)

  Disable all non-microsoft extensions). I was not looking for it.  My problem does not appear to be any good

  program, type file running that is causing this. It seems to happen when the computer is idle (I realize there are always some)

  process background or system running) but it doesn't have to be all open programs.

  At this point, I am open to almost any idea or suggestion.  I will continue to monitor the post until resolved and will get a

• Spoolsv.exe has 99% of the cpu when I turned off the printer after printing.

  Original title: spoolsv.

  I recently installed a new printer Lexmark Pro715.  Everything works fine, no problems with printing, but as soon as I put off the printer after printing, spoolsv.exe takes 99% CPU.  If I leave the printer in mode 'sleep', the problem is, but I do not often print, I prefer to turn off completely.  There is nothing in the print queue, everything else seems normal.  I can use the Task Manager to stop it, but this isn't a good solution in the long term.  I run MS Update and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, with no effect.  It's driving me crazy.  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

  From what I've read on the Internet about the print spooler using 99 to 100%, Norton is also sometimes involved as a contributing factor to a runaway print spooler for some people (where my request).

  IIRC, people would set their Norton to start a scan and when it was made, the print spooler has run amok at 100%:

  "Because I have Norton Antivirus, do a system scan every Friday night that I happened to see that the value SPOOLSV. EXE is using almost 100% of the CPU of the morning Saturday. It's the only time that it happens, so I simply stop the process in the SERVICES window, and life is good. I don't know why Norton Antivirus it triggers during the scanning process that I couldn't find anything on the Symantec relating to this site. »

  If the problem resurfaces surface, using abduction special tools on their website, you can uninstall your Norton and view the appearance of things without him - you can always reinstall again once, right?

  I disagree with Norton in general for its CPU and memory hogging and known interference with other XP processes (such as the restoration of the system), so I'd keep which in mind if the problem returns.

  A few years ago, I used to like Norton correct, but will never go back or recommend it.  Microsoft Security Essentials with it's lower overhead and footprint and some regular on the analyses at the request of the MBAM and SAS should hold your own system based on your surfing habits.  Your system will reward you with an improvement in the overall performance of the system as well.

  I can tell you that no single AV tool seems to know everyting so it is safe to use several respectable scanning tools.  Norton certainly doesn't know everything.

• I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

  Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

  I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

  I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

  What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

  Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

  First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

• Spoolsv.exe process works all the time and lose 50% of power (one of the two cores).

  I found that spoolsv.exe is given to printing. When this process is killed or ' cache/buffor Impression' service is stopped, printing is impossible. I tried to change to manual (in services.msc) automatic initialization, but this process does not start even I ask any application to print.
  Spoolsv.exe takes all the power of a core of mu CPU (core 2 duo). I have Windows 7 Professional x 86 poles. I have attached a few screenshots that might be useful. Sorry for my bad English.
