Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

"Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
MalwareBytes AntiMalware
SUPERAntiSpyware

If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

  • After awhile java.exe is the CPU at 100%

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the java.exe in the environment in which I work. In the environment, I have a physical server: Sun Fire X 4100 Server with 2 processors and 16 GB of RAM for control of virtualization. On the system, this is the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and vCenter 5.5.

    For the most part, we are 5 guys in the team who use the vSphere Web GUI. We are connecting to the server using RDP and after some time, we can not connect because the CPU is at 100%. It takes 20-30 minutes to be able to connect. And then 5-10 minutes to be able to click on something. For example, to kill the java.exe file keeps the CPU at 100%. This isn't a good idea because afterwords the Web GUI does not work so we need to restart the server.

    Anyone of you have any idea why this is happening?

  • Portege will extinguish after iTunesphotoprocessor.exe gets the CPU to 100% usage

    Hi all

    I am having a problem with my Toshiba Portege and sync with my iPad2.

    I'm syncing large amount of photos to my iPad, when synchronization progess is at the stage of optimization photos iTunes runs two processes iTunesphotoprocessor.exe and the CPU usage is 100%.

    The Toshiba fan then runs at full speed until the immedialtey of the computer turns off.
    It is not a normal shutdown of Windows 7 64-bit. It's an energetic power loss, while the Toshiba is on a/c.

    I can reproduce the same with my iPhone 4.

    I thought I should use a USB hub with an adapter separated instead, unfortunately, there is no difference.

    It is not only synchronize photos that it occurs also when I sync movies and only iTunes.exe running at 100% CPU usage.
    Which brings me to the conclusion that the iPad draws a lot of power of the Toshiba until the laptop is on its knees.

    I use external drives (not USB powered) and can copy a lot of data without any problem.

    Perhaps worth mentioning that I have improved the Toshiba two months ago for Windows 7 64 bit and installed all the 64-bit drivers found here on the forum with the upgrade of the BIOS.

    Any hint is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion this has nothing to do with the power supply or the power adapter plugged.
    The iTunesphotoprocessor.exe belongs to the iTunes software and in my opinion this software highlights the laptop CPU s that cause automatic shutdown!

    This means that it is not a problem of laptop but the Apple software.
    I m not sure if it s a compatibility issue with 64-bit Windows system, but he s certainly an iTunes problem

    So, in my opinion, you need to reinstall this software to see if that would help
    You can uninstall this software from the system and could clean the registry with CCleaner, it helps to clean the registry
    After that and after new restarts, you can try to install a version compatible 64-bit iTunes maybe it helps

    The list file you most often is a process associated with Norton 360. However, malware is sometimes assumed the names of the legitimate files in order to deceive the end user. Norton is a Devourer of known system and as a result, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is a legitimate file in your case. However, I recommend you download, to update and scan with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, just to be sure. If the scans do not detect the file and the problem persists I would contact Norton or remove Norton making sure to use the tool to uninstall do.

    I'm sure that the only way to proceed is to make a free portfolio for all the world in your new application of muli-folio. There is no way to match the records of the purchase of an application with a new application that contains a folio.

    Apple wants to see at least one element of the library is available free of charge, in any case if the application has a utility when downloaded from the store anyway.

    Is not possible. After effects CC is the only software to subscription. You pay each month and download all the updates that are included. But you never admit it.

    If I pay $20 monthly for 1 year as he says, at the end of the year I will always be able to keep the software without paying for it again (not to mention the upgrade) and use it.

    N ° after 12 months, you either renew your subscription or you cancel your plan.

    If you choose to renew then you keep paying your monthly fees. If you choose to cancel then the software will stop working until you choose to renew.

    If this is not how to pay for it and keep it forever, and how much it will cost me?

    There is no way to buy CC pure and simple and keep it forever.

    The only version you can afford and keep it forever is CS6 (the version before CC) available here

  • Read the CPU hits 100% in the FIFO usage

    I have a PC in real-time with a card of RIO 7833R. I write the values that I read a microphone in a FIFO at a sampling rate of 4 kHz.The length of the FIFO is 2048. The PC in real-time, when I call 'FIFO read' function to read say 400 data samples, the use of CPU time real PC hits 100%. Why is it so? The function 'Read FIFO' is placed inside a while loop.

    Thank you

    Prashant

    Hi Prashant,

    Reading the FIFO is a method of querying, so if the number of elements specified to read are not available when the method is called, it queries the FPGA until they are.  This causes the CPU to 100% usage. You can find more information on this subject and a way around this here.

  • Windows cannot find the file setup.exe on the CD,

    Windows Vista cannot find the file setup.exe on a CD, or I see using File Explorer

    Is there an autorun.inf on the CD?

    If so, try it.

  • Explorer.exe keeps the name change, deletion etc. of media files.

    I do not know in which category falls THIS problem...
    Feel free to sort where it belongs to.

    The next thing happen very often:

    I can't rename a file or folder. It is not the permissions. It's allways explorer.exe locks the file. Logging and turn it on again solve the problem most of the time, so I can remove/rename the file Explorer. In cases where this does not work I opening of session and closing session again, open a cmd.exe shell and remove the file without problem.

    The types of files are .wma, .wmv, .mp3, .avi .jpg etc. all types of typical media files + a few others.

    If the source of the problem is continuation of behavior:
    Vista explorer.exe opens the file for read the news there, like extif of information in files .jpg, like mp3-ID3-tag, etc etc.
    Can we prevent the explorer.exe to open these files for playback and the verification of the information? Win XP, one way to solve it (partially) which was to unregister the shmedia.dll, in Vista, it seems to be "" wmploc. "." DLL", but I prefer first an email of confirmation.

    It's even worse with .exe files, where allways Vista (and XP) open the file to check for the icon resource, so on slow network, this leads to serious problems.

    Questions are...
    1. How can it be prevented that Vista opens various types of multimedia files to check their content and hang in part to the fact that (rename/delete prevention)?
    2. can it be prevented that Vista opens all .exe files to search for an icon resource, especially on the VPN or ANY network connection? I do almost all my (via VPN) stuff filecopy in a shell because I know that explore crashes after a few seconds due to this behavior.

    KB956592 is already installed, it helps a little, but only a little because it isn't the navigation folder that really does hang, it is the action of file - open (especially with the .exe).

    Before ask you: I have already change one of the biggest disadvantages of vista (this .reg file should explain itself if easy to do in words) so he checks any way content of the media due to the "automatic file type detection", but it always opens these files when they're accidentally hovering over these files and so crashes on certain files or make the undeletable and unrenameable.

    This kind of thing is confirmed by vista resource monitor and pious sysinternals (now wininternals) tools, I see that explorer.exe is the culprit.

    Don't worry, I still prefer Vista on XP :), it's just that he needs (such as XP and ALL other OS, no exception of Linux here!) adjustments for ease of use.
