will check into that. thanks. oddly, the issue went away, and now only running the program, Speccy, seems to cause the issue. odd, because during the problems I started having, I was not using that program.

the culprit is the System version of the process. tried to delete, but it comes right back. my computer has had a few flukes with it, like booting and proper time. I did do an anti-virus scan (Norton), but nothing found.

just noticed my computer is running its CPU's at 20-40%, heating up my CPU, due to the above program. I have windows 7 pro, and have not maybe any recent changes that I can recall. what to do? thanks.

i'm getting a frozen window on IE10 (Windows 7 64-bit) with error, AppHang81, on certain webpages. any idea why this started happening? thanks.

i used to be able to go into internet temp files for videos i played on-line, like on youtube. if i play them, they went into a folder, from which i could copy and save them. that was on my windows xp computer. i now have w7 and IE10. is there a setting that allows me to do that again? it...

I have a flat screen monitor that is connected via the DVI port. I also have an HDTV, where my computer connects to it via an HDMI cable. I notice they can't work simultaneously. is there a software solution to be able to switch between the 2, perhaps by disabling something? thanks

for some reason my address bar now goes from the left all the way to the right of the screen, and thus the refesh/stop/search icons are all the way on the right. up until then, the address bar only spanned about half way across. u changed no display settings. any idea what i cold have done...

I can convert I suppose. I am burning the video onto a DVD to watch on TV. I guess wmv is watchable?

i have an avi video that i want to trim. but when i use movie maker and trim, i don't see an option to simply re-save it as an avi video. it seems i have to convert it to mp4 or wmv. anyway to keep it as an avi? thanks.

when i search using google, i only get lists for the results, nothing about pictures, videos, etc. also, even tho i'm logged into my google account, i can't seem to get safesearch to go off, even tho when i change it it says my settings are saved. i just did a fresh install of W7 so this...

i added an SSD to my computer. not sure if related, but later i started to see the above executible running about 20% of my cpu, causing my cpu temperature to go up, then the computer turns off; not sure if due to hi temp (63 degrees celcius). i have never seen this executible use cpu before...

did wrong test before. just did it - no repair issues to be resolved. looked fine. at the end it did say "failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50." not sure that matters. when i use F8, i don't see an option to boot to last known good. also, i can't boot in safe...

just did that, an again, it didn't boot. it could not repair. anything else before a clean install is needed? thanks.

my Windows 7 64-bit computer acted oddly (after it accidentally got unplugged while on, tho not sure that's what did it). now when i boot i get as far as the windows 7 logo starts to show, then i get that it can't boot. i changed nothing that i know of. repair says it can't. restore, which...
