Scrolling Eating 100% Processor

[war59312]

Well this is strange. Scolling is eating 100% of my processor. Be it in word, IE, outlook express, trillian, mozilla fire fox... Just to name a few.

Not sure what the problem is. BTW got a new grahpics card again.

BTW this was happening before my new card. So I know it is not the card. Must have been a damn windows update.

Anyone have any ideas?

Um ok it is smooth scrolling. Strange but never had this problem untill now.

Thanks,
Will

have you tried removing your mouse drivers or rolling them back
you might want to go into device manager and look at the Properites/
Advanced Settings and see if they are the defaults.

Is your desktop wallpaper resized on the desktop?

If your wallpaper on the desktop is a different size to your resolution and your desktop setting is to stretch the image when you scroll or drag windows around it has to recalculate the dimentions of the wallpaper all the time. This is especially bad if the image is out of proportion to the size of your desktop too.

To fix this you would open the image you were using as the wallpaper and resize it to the resolution you are using and save it as something else then select the new image as your wallpaper.

This is just an idea, as this gave me that problem.

Um nope not a problem. Background is 1024x768 which is same as desktop. No redrawing. Even with no background same problem.

Yeap and still annorying but not a major problem even though i miss smoth scolling some what. oh well

Just strange. Hopefully sp2 final will fix. BTW running sp1.

May be it's a hint for you to try SP2 RC2

[Luck.exe]

Could be a trojan/virus.. I once had the gaobot virus and it would make SVCHost take all of my resources, when i finally was smart enough to run my AV software it found it and got rid of it.

Just an idea.

Been there, done that. Even scanned for nortan to see if F-Prot Antivirus missed anything. Nothing. Scanned for adware/spyware as well. Checked startup and serivices. Nothing.

But yea McoreD I will install only sp2 rtm on my main computer. hehe

Have it installed on my old one and working fine.

Oh well f it. If not fixed after i install sp2 will repost i guess.

Thanks guys,
Willl
