Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>performance_maintenance (more info?)
So i've been dealing with 100% CPU usage for the last 3 weeks. I've
narrowed down the cause to the Flash plugin for ANY browser, regardless
of IE or Firefox.

*Here's the deal:*

Anytime Flash is loaded in the browser, the CPU shoot straight up to
100% until you close the browser. I've google'd solutions for this. The
only one I've seen is the all FULL CONTROL for the Everyone user on two
of the Flash drives.

This does not work. So I tried something else.

I reformatted and started from scratch. As soon as the Flash plugin was
installed, BOOM, right to 100% CPU usage again. This happened on both
Vista x64 Ultimate w/ SP2 and a clean install of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
RTM (It's a legal copy.)

*My desktop is a P4 3.2ghz with 3GB ram on a 80GB WD 10,000rpm sata
drive. Plenty of power.*

*_Now_here's_a_weird_sidenote:_* I have a company laptop with Windows
XP x86 w/ SP2. Flash works fine. Both computers are on the same version.
The latest as of today from Adobe.com.

Obviously the only difference besides OSes is I'm using 64-bit
Vista/Win7 on the desktop. But because there is no 64-bit flash, only 32
bit, they are using the same version.

Ok, thoughts? Suggestions?

*_I've_ruled_out:_*
1. Virus/Spyware/Malware
2. Other processes running (i tried when I did a clean install with
nothing installed)

I'm hoping that a 64-bit version of Flash will solve the program, but
they currently only have one for Linux. v10 is a CPU usage hog, and I
can't find what part of the v10 is causing the problems. v9 is less
problems, but still the CPU usage issue.

There is no "bump" on Usenet. And since you didn't quote any of the original
thread, no one here can help you. This is why:

You are not posting on a real forum as you think you are and you didn't
quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You are using a web
interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us are using
real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to participate in
Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is very easy to do
and I'll give you information about that below. If you prefer to use a
forum, then here are two excellent ones:

http://forum.aumha.org/index.php
http://http://computerhaven.info/

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it. Here
are some links to information about newsgroups:

etc.)

Obviously you can't use IE 64. Does this happen with FF, or just IE 32?

I have both IE 64 and IE 32. Obivously, IE64 doesn't work, so I use
IE32.
