Why my Win XP processor works 100%?
I had an old PC sitting around, and I decided to put up just to watch Netflix. He had a lot of junk top, so I used the original CD to format the hard drive and then do a clean install of Windows XP Professional. After that, I downloaded each service pack (SP3) and the update to Windows Update and also updated to the latest version of Internet Explorer. I find this video and sound is choppy at the point of being very bad. It is true that I am on YouTube, Netflix or any other source of video content online. I also get the same results using Firefox and Opera. When I check the speed of my internet connection, it is very fast. I use Verizon Fios. Furthermore, I don't think that this problem has nothing to do with the internet. The other computers on my home video smoothly stream. When I run a screensaver on this computer, it also does not run smoothly. Regularly, it hangs for a while, then leaves upward. I used the Task Manager to determine that the navigation software uses all the cpu resources.
The old computer has a connection wired ethernet to the router. It's a Dell Dimension 4300 with a Pentium 4 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of ram. I tried to run a virus scan, (Microsoft Security Essentials) and CCleaner but it makes no difference. I also tried looking for useless CPU utilization using msconfig, but I do not see any program running that I could eliminate.
I checked my other PC, also an old Dell, and when I watch a video online, the CPU usage is not anywhere near 100% and playback is fine. When I try to watch a video on this computer that I'm hoping to fix it, use the processor to 100 and stays there.
Can someone give me advice on how I can try to correct this situation? Thank you very much!
Well, I tried to run the MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, aswMBR and Avast antivirus. No results.
There is a simple solution to my problem. I can part with the money to get one of these little boxes that you can use to connect to Netflix and others. It's just frustrating to have a PC that should work better she does.

PC worked 100% use of the processor from the beginning
For awhile now, my PC worked 100% boot CPU usage, die down for ~ 50% to65% after about an hour, give or take. I have hunted high usage a bit of svchost.exe running these services: application, information from application, transfer of int background experience, client strategy group, IKEE + auth ip, sharing, support IP, multimedia class, remote access, system event notification connection Planner, Scheduler tasks, themes, user profile system service & windows of Internet management.
OT:svchost.exeIf I stop the responsible svchost.exe strand, it goes up to level 50-65%, for some time and reappears, but if I stopped him once or twice more, he no longer appears, and the CPU usage will eventually pass to the 5% below normal for when I brought my PC.I wouldn't mind knowing three things: 1) is safe, 2) is permitted using the internet after using the method above and 3) is there a permanent solution?Hi Isabelle,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.
When you run programs, the CPU usage reaches 100 percent. When using the processor reaches 100 percent, programs run slowly or stop responding (hang).
Method 1
I suggest you to run the fixit from the following link:Difficulty of Windows system performance slow computer problems

CPU Upgrade - Satellite P100 Core2duo works 100%
I can now confirm that update to CORE 2 DUO CPU CORE DUO (T2300 T2400 T2500, T2600, etc) (T7200, T7300, T7400, etc...)
on Satellite P100 (17 ", GF7600 GPU, etc) with the latest version of the bios 3.30 is possible and it works 100%. I tested on P100-108 with T2300.T7200 upgrade went without any problems and the bios identified with success the new processor.
The disadvantage of this upgrade is (if we ignore the high price of the c2duo :-)) who to change the CPU on the P100 series you
to remove the motherboard which is a long process (if someone needs help with his laptop disassemblyI can post a detailed guide
for the P100).
:-)Thanks for the comments, it s a great info
But I think you warranty worth no more. If something goes wrong, you will pay for the repair...

PSE7 on Win 8.1 works, but on some tools have strange, linear pointers
PSE7 on Win 8.1 works, but on some tools (such as cropping, Zoom, dropper - the other are normal, with arrow usuall) have strange linear pointers. The problem is perhaps the HD screen, not to win 8.1? Any ideas, any help, please?
I changed my computer to a new one with HD 1920 x 1080 screen. Some time ago I tried PES 11 free trial, but I don't like him, but PSE 7 I love. Anything I can do to run it on the HD, 8.1 Win display.
Thanx
Right-click on your desktop and select Screen Resolution.
Then, on the next screen, click make text and other items more or less
In the next screen, try a setting of Smaller-100% (default value)
If it makes too little attempt to set a custom sizing Option and use 125% or 149%

Why doesn't my password work?
I signed up for an account in the last 30 minutes. I chose a password and confirmed. Then I went to the Android store to download Firefox for Android on my phone - and it has worked successfully. But when I tried to login, my password was rejected. I checked to make sure it was the same thing, and it is. Why doesn't my password work? Oh, and it is 9 characters long with two digits.
In addition, I tried to change my password of Firefox on my desktop PC to be rejected for the same problem. So I can't even change my password (it takes the old password).
Password for what?
This forum?
The synchronization service account of Firefox?
Or? -

Update BIOS, drivers and control software (if any).
Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I have an Inspiron N5010 A04, OS Windows 10 Home. The hard drive works 100% for minutes at a time as shown in the Task Manager Performance page, the player lists that ST9500325AS 500.11 GB, is there something I can do to reduce the amount of time the HD works 100%? Either way when I try to run Diagnostic Dell programs the system runs to get your Tests and then stops. Any idea on this? Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the reply. He does it all the time and it is not an update. I can recognize update. The pc would work fine. The hard drive begins to run 100% and continues for several minutes then goes back to normal operations. I check with the Task Manager and you can watch it work 100%. I don't do any resource heavy operations at a time.
