Hi I am going through your prosess and you can stop pchbutton.exe.Disable it.

spoolsv.exe I am looking into.

I am on the job but it does take a while..

spoolsv.exe can be a natural part of your system but it also could be some thing bad.So I am searching.

PCHF Rules Scan Computer for Driver Updates Pre-Work

Download SilentRunners.vbs from here. Your anti-virus may ask whether to let it run the script, allow it to run. When it is completed, notepad will open with a log - post that here.

and as always thanks for the help

i think we're getting somewhere finally with regards to that silly window that pops up at start up. as soon as i end the process " pchbutton.exe" in the task manager that window goes away.so, how do i disable that so it doesn't come back on at start up ?
also, i found this website " blackviper.com" that was recommended to another thread that seems like it will be very helpful . they have a "complete" list of all the processes that come with windows xp listed and tell you anything else listed in task manager is from another program and not windows.they even show you what to set the processes for windows to. for example; automatic,manual, or disable. i haven't tried any yet,wanted to hear from you folks first just did alot of reading. thanks again and i think i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

I have used Black Viper's recommendations ever since I got a PC--his guide is the best.
Thing is-- everyone's PC is different , and so is how they use it.
The only way to find what works for you is by trial and error-- if you disable something that another app needs to run Windows will popup a warning when you start it.

omg , i got rid of that annoying window on startup by disabling pchbutton.exe !
ok one last thing to handle, how can i figure out which svchost.exe is using all the cpu under task manager. since i have multiple ones running ( svchost.exe that is) ,how do i know what it is used for because at startup one of these is still hogging all the cpu and won't go away.

This is the generic host process
to see what is running it-- you can download Process Explorer...
Process Explorer
