Winword.exe is at 100% CPU
When I open Microsoft Word (Office XP on Windows XP) I have noticed that
Winword.exe is running at or near 100% CPU time when I am typing something. I have not noticed this before and I was wondering what would be causing this. I do not have a lot of applications opened. I have restarted my computer and it still has this problem. Winword.exe stops running at or near 100% when I am using a different application, including Taskmanager, but when I go back to Word, the CPU time is consumed by winword.exe around 100%. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreacitate. ~J |

I don't know the answer, but...this occasionally happens to me and
I've had to do various troubleshooting to see what's up. I've found spyware at time, or it could be that you have file indexing turned on? I've noticed Googles desktop search can suck up CPU...but usually it give it up quickly. So you'll have to do some investigating. I checked Google and there's a variety of apps that can cause issue with Word and other apps. So you might want to start here (if no one else has any better ideas?): http://groups-beta.google.com/groups... 22+%22cpu%22 You might want to first try renaming your normal.dot in case it is getting corrupt and causing problems accessing info? And, of course, clear your temp files and start with a fresh reboot. This article has several basic method of troubleshooting general errors that are fairly simple and you should try to make sure these aren't the problem. http://www.mousetrax.com/maintain.html Good luck...
