The way I solved it was to install a trial version of soundtap and then immediately uninstall it. After rebooting, my cpu now idles at around 3%. At this moment with Outlook and Chrome open with 5 tabs, my cpu is at 6%.

Good one and nice of you to share this as well.

Sor Mov but I got lost here. So is this already resolved?

Just to chip in here. There is actually another way to fix this without using a single software.

If you have a restore point set up, you can just use Windows utility called “System Restore”. What it does is it sets your settings and executables at an earlier point without deleting your documents, at least that’s what they claim, but so far, I haven’t experience any issues with my data.

Hi epzcaw, would be nice if you can update this thread and post if the tip given worked on your case.

Nice thing to do with your reseller. I think most of them will just have delaying tactics and all.

I’d recommend checking out IOBit SD. I’ve been using it for a month now.

That’s true. I always live be a quote that says “Data only exists if backed up”. I will be an ugly scenario if your PC crashes an lose all your files.

I think that will always been the case if a person is being to hasty looking for an answer. They always want it straight away.

As of June 20, 2011 with the release of EasyBCD 2.1, it is no longer free for use in commercial environments which require the purchase of a paid license,

This could have been a good software for a small office set up.

Back to the original post. Why is the driver being replaced? There is no mention of any problem. If the sound system is working properly then leave the driver alone.

I need to give that a +1. Most users just want to update because it’s the newest but the thing is that newest often times comes with a bug.

Before you uninstall, make sure to create a manual restoration point first.

Sorry ahead but I got lost here. What was the solution again? I kept on looking for it but could find it.

I think this can be caused by corrupted files for chrome. Try uninstalling Chrome and deleting everything in C:Documents and Settings%USERNAME%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeUser Data

I’d leave that G drive alone. I doubt that it will cause you any performance issues in the future.

IE has been known to have issues. I only use it by the way if a website only allows IE to open the site.
