Help with 2002

Ok I found my problem. In the task manager I see in the performance graph, every 10 seconds or so the cpu usage goes up to 100%. It's the SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS. Does anyone know what this is and how to make it so this doesn't use 100% of my cpu power every 10 seconds? -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/

AH HA!!!!!!!!!! I found it, I think. My damn scanner had a program looking for the connection I think. Because it's not connected, and I did notice that program was spiking with the system Idle thing. Disabled that program, that was only shown running in the CNTL-ALT-DEL, under that tab processes. -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/ "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:Jd1W8.444471$cQ3.32536@sccrnsc01... > > Ok I found my problem.

In your case it's going up when you are looking at task manager because you're not running anything else using the cpu at that time. Some Call Me Tim

Yep that was it. Damn scanner program that I didn't know was loaded. -- Sean Higgins PRI-- http://www.performance-racing.net/ My Ferrari pics http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/ "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:r42W8.444738$cQ3.32125@sccrnsc01... > AH HA!!!!!!!!!!
