Thanks for the response Aeaden. I use Process Explorer from sysinternals which is also quite a useful tool. My probelm seems to stem from Outlook and Firefox (or any browser) usage. Will keep you updated in case of any useful developments on my end. Thanks again. Have a great weekend ahead.

Hello Aeaden, Even I am facing the very same issue of a 100% CPU Usage which cant be pinned down to anything thus far. I have VirusScan 9.1.08. Can anyone tell if a high/100% CPU Usage can be caused by McAfee VirusScan? Thanks a lot

I searched on Tek-Tips and got the McAfee Forum. Do you think that McAfee can be causing the high CPU Usage ?

Thanks bcastner. My McAfee is updated with auto-update. And my WinMgmgt is configured to log 'errors only'. Could you please recommend any McAfee Forum? Thanks

clorbach, like both the members have stated, floppies are highly unreliable media. Sometimes there are 3 working out of a box of 10. Do you want to read the floppy content of write into it? I have had luck with some media which Windows NT/2000/XP rejected on a Windows 98 system. This might or...
