Explorer.exe taking up 15-30% CPU usage when moving mou

Can I ask the obvious? does the cpu go back down when you stop moving the mouse? Why is this a problem. This is normal behavior. Mine (4 gigs ram dual core2 32bit) goes to 54% is i continually move the mouse.

What does this behavior do that is a problem?

He says it goes up to about 30% when he not using the mouse also.

Just as a matter of interest, will you download and install Malwarebytes, and run a scan on your machine.

Kevin... This is normal behavior ... My dual 3.4Ghz does the same ... ZigZags machine does the same thing ... If you are having a problem with the performance of the OS ... not merely a CPU utilization observation, we will be glad to address it, otherwise, this thread has pretty much run its course...

In the future stick with official versions from MS ... Newsgroups are not where you want to get them..

Because your dealing with Windows 7 and not Vista... you still haven't described what problems you are having ... your cpu utilization is not a problem ... its normal occurrence .....

Yeah, I do believe so also. Do you experience the same problem? Or never heard of it?

Where is that 180-day trial? In that link, I can only see a 90-day trial for the Enterprise version.

Is there an Ultimate version that offers 180-day trial?

No clue what the problem is, im just stating that the "problem" isn't present on any of my machines. Maybe it's a Intel dual core issue?

That is a possibility, however the OP intimated that it was a problem without stating what the actual problem was with his computer ... even with the cpu consumption at 30%, so what ... it definitely doesn't impair or slow down my machine, and I doubt it does his either...
