Alright guys
i have a picture of task manager here as soon as i booted my computer up.
juts have a look and see what ya think?

Thats with nothing open apart from Avast.

Not amazingly slow but sure can tell the difference.

This is just after your computer boots? are you sure it's not things that are related to booting? I never used vista, but I know that in win7 it will put me to the desktop as soon as that is loaded, and my CPU usage will still spike for a little while it loads up everything that runs in the background (antivirus,dropbox,etc.)

Try typing "Msconfig" and see what is there at startup and try disabling the one's you don't need/want. But like guitarG20 said I think it'll be something that's just loading up then the CPU will idle once it's finished loading.

In my expert opinion, I think that it looks suspiciously like a Windows computer as soon as Task Manager is opened right after booting up. cguru:

Too true. Even after coming out of hibernation, it's a good couple of minutes before my Win7 lappie is actually useable. Extremely frustrating. It has four cores, FFS: shirley I could get the use of just one of 'em!

Yeah you guys were 100% correct, Thanks, Erm still a bit high on the % like but its came down alot tho. The VM is at only 20Max free tho? ..

Is there anything else running on the host? Another VM, maybe?

One place I worked we had a problem with the AV on VMs: everything was getting checked on the VM and on the host - the machine was basically using 90% of its resource virus checking.

BTW, in Task Manager, I assume you're looking at processes from all user.

 

[Spec-Kie]

Yeah it's on all users .. and nah there is no other vm. Because there is only 1.5 gig do you think if I tale one my 256's out and put a 1 gig do you think it will male it any better?
