CPU issue
A friend of mine has an issue of slowness.Running taskmanager process manager found the culprit wmiprvse.exe .The processor (2.2 ghz celeron)spikes to 60% every 3-5 seconds.Ive tried disabling it in the process menu and it comes right back.I've checked for registry entries relating it to a virus or suspicious exe locations.No out of the ordinary programs installed.I read it could be a internet card or chipset driver causing the issue.The 10/100 port is on the board.I updated it to the latest driver and the problem stopped.I rebooted it thinking I had it and it came back.Now I'm suspecting the 10/100 port is n/g.I don't have a spare card around to back my theory but I'm at wits end.Any ideas ?
