Thanks for the info. I'm assuming it never finished checking for updates. You mentioned you have vista service pack 2. I understand but was wondering if you had the media (i.e. CD or DVD that came with the computer) for Vista with SP2. Can you confirm?

OK, please do the following.
FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Download attached file and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
2. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
3. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
4. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

I downloaded also the fixlist.txt but that disappeared after i ran the frst 64 fix .Here is the fixlog.txt .

As I understand it (from our PM) you have done a factory reset. As mentioned, after all updates are installed let me know how your CPU activity is. Thanks.
Thanks Brian you are on top of your game what a great follow up. All the updates have been installed and my cpu has settlle back down to 2% and 3% when the computer is idle and many times when i am running other programs the cpu is still low. I am a sales trainer and i teach people how to sell and customer service and i can clearly see that you are customer focus and customer sensitive these characteristic makes fantastic business people and sales people and you have it.

No problem. I'm glad it's back down. When more updates are published, don't be surprised if it kicks back up until they are installed. Take care.
