Get another screenshot as well of the CPU usage / System Idle - this time organize the CPU usage column so we see what .exe is taking the CPU - I spotted a scroll bar - so try moving it around til we find the executable taking up the processing time.
is adaware up to date?[/I]
I been pushing the system harder than what obtained the earlier observations but haven't been able to get the System Idle Process to "take over" like it did earlier.
"adaware" ???
