I could not find the program on the CD, but going into the startup and disabling PC Health and State Manager seems to have done the job. I read on a couple of websites that there are patches you can run that will permanently disable the Restore function, so I downloaded one and ran it, but it...
Well, I rebooted, and of course, STMGR.EXE was running again with 4 threads. I waited 6 mminutes (this time it took 6:20, so there goes my 6 minutes exactly theory) and that one thread started sucking up all the CPU. I killed the thread and now all is well, but now what? Will I have to start...
Well sports fans, I found the problem. Now, what to do about it. I found an excellent program called Another Task Manager 3.0 (go to http://download.com.com/3000-2094-6771750.html?tag=lst-0-11 if you want to check it out) It is the only one I found that shows CPU usage by process for Win98...

So, basically what everyone is telling me is that I should get rid of Windows ME. I've had this OS running for over a year now and this is the first problem I have encountered. I originally had 98, then upgraded to SE, and I kept getting the old blue screen. So when a friend offered to burn...
Every time I let my system sit idle, after exactly 6 minutes, the CPU usage jumps up to 100%,and never comes back down. Can anyone explain why this might be happening? I have been looking for a program that shows CPU usage by application, but I can't seem to find one that works on Windows Me...
