Girloveswaffles Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 For the last few months, ive been having trouble with my laptop. The internet process, when it is running, jumps the cpu to 100% every few minutes. It never used to do this, but in the last month or two it has been doing this a lot. At first i thought it was due to malware, but through the spybot forum, i removed vundo, virumonde, and some other malware, but the problem still persisted. The people from spybot seem to think that it is a problem with my registry, since i used a reg cleaner a while ago to fix some errors, and it probably deleted some vital information for the internet process. I have cd's that came with my computer, but not the actual XP disk, since it was pre-installed. The disks are burned and labeled Aspire 5102 WLmi Recovery Disk 1 and 2. Apparently these are used to recover the original state of the computer, but i do not know how to do this. If you can be of any help, please write back to me. Ps. I dont mind losing everything cause i can easily get everything back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
