Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / July 2008Jerky system performance.
Anybody else had this problem? I find that recently, applications running in Vista are jerky; every so often, they stop for a few seconds and then start again. It's only started recently, and I've run full virus and spyware scans and defragmented the system. Anybody got any ideas? >Anybody else had this problem?

Something is running in the background that is eating up your processor's time, like an antivirus scan or something similar. What have you installed recently? What changes have you made to your system? No idea, it COULD be Firefox 3.0.1, I don't remember having the problem before I installed it. > >Anybody else had this problem?

Try using System Restore to go back before you remember hitting this problem. I doubt it is Firefox (if Firefox isn't running, it isn't running and shouldn't be effecting the system), but it could of been an update to Windows or another program, like iTunes which have plenty of background craplets.

I doubt it... I'm using Firefox 3.0 myself without problem. >> >Anybody else had this problem?

Anybody got any ideas? Open the task manager and view the processes list. Note the % CPU usage for the various entries and look for spikes. =?Utf-8?B?VGhlIEZyZWRlcmljaw==?= <TheFrederick@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:C04546C3-7434-4B30-AD6D-37E1E39A718B@microsoft.com: > Anybody else had this problem?

Download CPorts and run in admin mode and see if anything or anyone is making established connections to your PC that shouldn't be. |
