Thread: CPU help query.

Which particular issue, Duane? The sychost.exe or the "Not Updating"?

No, no new sound card, Pedro.

Do a search in Google Groups and you should find the answers that you need.

Yep, that's the one I have, run the patch and another set of work-arounds to no avail. Switched to Windows update and the problem is gone. Did a virus scan and the usual spyware scans and found nothing.

Fortunately the computer is another one picked up off the side of the road, so I don't really car if it turns to slag.

A couple of free programs you can try are Clean Up by Stephen Gould and Regseeker. I run these plus Spybot as well as Defrag my disk regularly and the machine runs faultlessly. A website you could look up is Ray Shaw. He writes a column for the courier mail and seems pretty clued up.
