How do you find out if hyperthreading is enabled or disabled in Windows 2003 and if enabled, you can it be disabled?

As far as I understand on a processor with HT the operating system would recognize it as two processors. (Ofcourse there are other design options, but this is the simplest choice and keeps the OS independent of the way the threads are scheduled).

Mine did the same thing and found out that when it happens svchost.exe is hogging at close to 100% CPU. \n\nThere were 2 culprits doing it-- Windows autoupdate and Wireless auto configuration.  I just disabled both on system services.

let see iexplorer.exe is the internet Session Monitor is a program or a background application that is monitoring your computer on the internet (nothing serious basic virus scanner or the computer reconizing you using the internet) When you see the error instruction it just mean that your RAM couldn't refresh in time so you get the error message. It is nothing major just annoying\n\nReplacing your RAM wont work either it is just the program errors that made your computer unrefreshable ontime

Not that I know of. I use good old C++ to do molty threading and dual core programing. I wish they would come up with one I am tired of all the extra work needed to lock resources.

Every now and then, Windows locks the process in place so that it isn't shutting down properly - and thus won't re-open correctly. Easy fixed.\n\nWhen this happens next time, right-click on the Windows Taskbar and open the Task Manager. In the processes tab, look for Firefox.exe  - right-click and end the process. You'll get a warning pop up - is fine, just hit yes. \n\n\nOh, and IE doesn't have to worry about this issue because of the way it is integrated into the Windows architecture - it's ALWAYS running\nWill then open up just fine

Well, just by this discription, its difficult to predict. But lets investigate. Press ctrl+alt+del and Go To Process Tab. There would be processes showing CPU usage. Press the CPU top bar twice, to show CPU usage in descending order. Don't close it. Now write the same command as you had mentioned, and while it is doing the slow working, go to the Process window you had just opened. Observe which process is taking unusually high CPU , excepting the process titled 'System Idle Process'. It might be a virus or a spyware. Report the process in your next question. I am waiting for a quick response from your side, and waiting for this question to be selected as a good answer\n\n\nAfter additional details.\nWell, I feel the way I mentioned above is the best to know that. I too have observed this thing with many computers, and the reason in majority of them for slow stand by or shut down was that they had a good amount of load. I don't remember the exact detals, but when you close your PC, it saves some info before shutdown. You can do the following:\n\n[Start] [Run] [Regedit]\nRegistry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Contro\nl\nModify/Create the Value Name [WaitToKillServiceTimeout] according to the Value Data listed below.\nData Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: WaitToKillServiceTimeout\nValue Data: [Default = 20,000 (expressed in milliseconds) Modify to preference.]\n*set to 1000*\nit will definately speed up the shutdown of your pc.\nExit Registry and Reboot

IDK about you...I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and it has dual core also. I can go into Task Manager and choose the program in processes you want to run on either chip, it's automatically set on both. Back to it, right-click the program and choose set affinity, and uncheck one or other of the chips. Hopefully that'll help, that's the best I can do.

I had this and I think I went into Windows, then System 32, and selected Taskmgr and clicked on Run and that brought it back. Hope this helped.

Try running the virus protection and anti-spyware in safe mode. To get to safe mode, hold down the F8 key and one of the ctrl keys during boot-up. Get Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, if you don't have it already. Make sure all of these programs are updated and current before you run them. Spool32 sounds like your printer spooler is messed up. The spooler is temporary memory area for documents before the printer prints them. This could be a RAM issue also. Since the dial-up connection box keeps coming up for no reason. If you know your way around the insides of a computer, turn it off and unplug it remove the case cover and check the memory modules are seated well in the DIMM slots. Run MEMTEST 86+ to see if the memory is okay.

There are various settings that could be causing this, check your registry

some kind of virus blocking access\n\nWhen you open System Configuration Utility [MSCONFIG], Registry Editor or Task Manager, they flash for a second and quit. This symptom is caused by Viruses. These three are important system utilities which the viruses target.\n\nhttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/ToolsQuit.htm\n\nResolution Method \nClick Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)\n\n\nREG add HKCU&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;\nWindows&#92;\nCurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;\nSystem /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

check the CPU usage. if your ranning winXP, go to the task manager.\n\nit depends also on the size of your RAM!

Check the BOOT.INI tab if anything else is checked off there it won't do a normal boot.  Also, if you have disabled a critical service or part of Windows, it won't boot normally either.  To see if you can actually disable something Google the item name before you do and usually the first or second result will be a process library telling you what it is.

It is disabled. So look for help to enable taskbar.

Start the Task Manager, and check what is the process eating up all your resources.\n1. Click on the Task Bar\n2. Select and click Task Manager.\n3. Click on the processes tab.\n4. Click on CPU to change order and put on top the heaviest process.\nNow you know if it is your Antivirus, or what?\n\nMore info:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/taskman_whats_there_w.mspx?mfr=true
