    High memory and cpu usage


    Hello,
    Looking at the task manager I see that about 50 % of RAM memory is used and about 20 % of cpu.
    The computer does nothing. Not a sigle app opened. Only the background tasks. I disabled almost anything from start-up. I even closed some services.

    This I believe happened after installing a trial of Adobe Dreamweaver. Could it be the problem or is it a coincidence. It may conflict with other application?

    Any help/suggestion would be very much appreciated.

    Edit: I have 2 GB RAM. 2.6 GHz dual core cpu and windows 7 installed.

    Try a clean boot and find out the precise cause

    or you could disable just the program that you suspect and test

    We need system specs to guide you better.

    Dreamweaver by it's self needs a minimum of 1 gig of ram just to work properly. You state you have 2 gigs of ram installed. With the 1 gig of ram you have left will just barely run Windows 7.
