i forgot to list the 2 programs that are each using at least 40%
msimn.exe and syntpenh.exe
does anyone know what these programs do?

msimn.exe is Outlook Express. Apparently syntpenh.exe is the Synaptics
TouchPad Enhancements driver.

hi gary,

that's scary because i didn't have outlook express open.

i really think there is something going on.

I am having the same EXACT problem with Windows 200...

My laptop is suddenly running very slow and it is very hot and when I check my performance it is always at 100%. syntpenh.exe is using 75% and csrss.exe is using 30%

Any idea what can be done?

Any help would be appreciated
