  1. I wouldn't expect you to. I keep getting an error on u2start's side about the full image and some array crap but from what I can see, the main culprits are:

    MSMoEnglish.exe is taking up the most - also you said the computer is about six years old, right? That might be a little old to run Vista - at least on most systems I tried it on it was even killing two-year-old ones. You also have AskService.exe from Ask.com running which isn't really needed considering Ask isn't even worth using anymore. iTunesHelper can be stopped on starting up as can QTTask (QuickTime Player) and reader_sl I think is something to do with Adobe Acrobat. Windows Search also can be stopped though I'm not sure if it works again or if you have to go in to the app and disable it that way.

    There's more down below - can you find out what those are?

    SearchHostFilter I'd not heard of before but it seems on some systems to take up 35% at minimum - so whatever it does god only knows but it seems to be bogging down the system. Maybe I've never installed it so I don't know what it does, but apparently to disable it:



    Open Windows Explorer (My Computer) and right-click the hard drive icon (C, select Properties and click on the General tab. Disable Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching. Wait for the hard drive activity to stop, then repeat for any other drives.

    Next go to Start > Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services. Scroll down to Indexing Service and double click it to open its Properties. Click the Stop button and then change the Startup Type to Disabled. Click OK, close down all programs and reboot.



    All up, it should be running fine since it seems to have 1GB RAM and the current CPU usage is well below what Vista usually uses (my new 2009 laptop used around 20% doing shit all). You've checked for viruses, spyware, rootkits, adware, bloated cookies - all that stuff?

    I can tell all that from that screen.
  2. Oh it's not vista it's just my friend set it up to look like it sorry lol I'll try that cheers Drew
  3. Oops I did it again, broke the /data/ thing again today Always forget its used for the images when i work on some topsecret stuff

    EDIT: Full size images work again.
  4. Agree with Drew. One additional weird thing is the MSNMSGR     .exe (with the whitespace).
  5. Re-format.
  6. That is the most effective solution indeed. Takes some time though

    Ooooh top-secret.....scary.

    I never actually noticed the MsnMsgr .exe - that is odd. And there's quite a few of them with spaces before the .exe as well, even stranger. I'd be doing a scan if they're what I think they are. I just saw your posts - reformatting probably is the way to go although it's worth trying to see if you can find the problem first.

    He's using Vista so it shouldn't take too long to reinstall - the drivers are the biggest pain in the arse to redo. But it needs to be a full format, not a quick one to make sure everything is gone including those weird .exe files).

    Good stuff. I hate when things stop working when you're in the middle of something actually useful and it cuts out.

    You'd better get it re-formatted, really. From what I see you've got about 30 suspicious/dangerous processes that are damaging your PC funcionality and speed. Therefore, you should re-format your hard disk, since it's the only accurate way to get rid of them. If you don't know how to do it call a computer tech and he'll get it sorted, for less than 20 or 30$ (US dollars) usually.
  11. Don't worry he's already booked for Monday thanks a lot


  12. No worries. When he's there ask about those processes on there.
