CPU resources at 100% - Help please
on: February 15, 2010, 14:33:15 PM
I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista when it released as preordered from Amazon.

Lately, I noticed my system running a bit sluggish and found that my CPU resources are usually 100%.

I found currently that iTunes and Opera are 2 of the culprits of that when I check my Task Manager along with MSN Messenger.

Is there a way to fix this problem? Any solutions are much appreciated.

Thanks.  8-)

I think at some point a while ago iTunes on my computer started to do something similar and it ended up being due to the kontiki/kservice skyplayer thingymajig.
