That's why. Rob Lay (Rob328gts) Board Administrator Username: Rob328gts Post Number: 5989 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 8:33 pm:    I think you're right. I deleted the DLLHOST.EXE process and my performance came back. I haven't noticed any side effects since. I'll run what it recomends to get rid of it. I just did a complete virus scan last week and it didn't find anything. Must of come aboard since.

Is that normal? My Performance is also showing at 99%, I don't think that is normal. 4) Also seems like my laptop idles quite a bit. Even when I'm on the internet or emailing it will constantly beep on and off every minute or so. Thanks, rob
