Everytime I open a folder that contains alot of mpg's and avi's the windows explorer suddenly makes my cpu usage 100% and bogs the whole system. I have a Pentium 4 - 2.5 gh with hyperthreading, 512 mb memory, and running XP pro. HELP! - thanks-

are the folder settings set to try to preview them in some way? e.g. if you leave it there for a while does it eventually complete what it wanted to do and display some sort of preview? other than that you might want to head over to the security forum and post a hijackthis log.

thanks I appreciate the help
