creative jukebox conflict

[Mark]

I have uninstalled the software but that did not improve
the situation.

The problem came out of the blue. The odd thing is task
manager shows only standard tasks running all at low
memory usage, but still the CPU is at 100%. It is as if a
hidden program has 'stolen' capacity leaving other tasks
to scrap over (and rapidly use up) the remainder.

Btw - I use Norton Anti-virus with live updates so it is
not (fingers crossed) a virus proble.

I tried "CPU uage at 100% in WinXP" in google but did not
find a solution in the pages I browsed.

The only recent change (predating the problem by a few
days) has been to install the software for an MP3 player
(Creative Jukebox) which also involved attaching the
player using a UBS connector.

It looks like more people are seeing 100% cpu utilization problems
caused by Norton Anti-Virus. Uninstalling it fixed the problem for
me. (see also http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=QBIdb.616631%24o%252.288865%40sccrnsc02&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dnorton%2Banti%2Bvirus%2Bcpu%2B100%252 5%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26

My bad. I was having 100% utilization problems, and uninstalling
Norton seemed to fix it for a few minutes. It turns out the problem
was really caused by the Neoteris VPN client ActiveX and related
software (at least it seems that way; uninstalling the Neoteris client
has fixed the problem for a day).
