memory usage

I have an Intel quad core desktop and i installed the RTM from MSDN on here and the multitasking is insanely slow. My pc basically locks up while doing a lot of activities but my memory usage never breaks about half of what i have (4gb) and the CPU is never stressed more than 35%, what could be...

I just bought a new computer a few days ago. This computer was loaded with Vista originally, and while I had Vista for the FEW days I had it (I had to get off!) I noticed that the CPU was constantly being used in a process called SearchIndexer.exe. My laptop's activity light was constantly...

I want to go back to Vista Home Premium x64! Windows 7 disappointed me and actually gave me a harder time than Vista did when I moved from XP to Vista. \ I checked an instructions document out about how to rollback to Vista from an upgrade to Windows 7. By using the windows.old folder located...

Got rid of AVG and installed trend Micro. Memory usage dropped like a brick and trend is picking up malware. Ahhh:) its good to have a firewall again. To install go into widows 7 maintenance and say you need a firewall gives the choices kaspersky, avg, trend ect.

I have an 8gb machine (memory) and it runs without a hitch. Were the problems cleared during the sp1? I have windows 7 on other and I find both to be very similar except for the taskbar and some networking features. Are these past vista complaints or is there a valid reason? Windows 7 is nice...

Recently, and I am not sure if it has anything to do with windows updates taken to the system in similar time, my CPU Usage fan has been going crazy - and quite frequently. CPU memory usuage, 100% or thereabouts is the norm now. Anybody else experience this? Thanks in advance.

I have been facing a problem with games in vista for the past 5 days. The games are getting dragged and discontinuous. I checked the task manager and found the cpu usage to be nearly 100% when games are running. I dont know whether that is the problem. I found that TrustedInstaller.exe was...
