PlugNPlay is a USB device . Back in the day it use to be referred to as PlugNPray . Praying that it will work.

Its worked fine all this time lol, only really ever since my keyboard has started playing up. Im afraid i think ive lost my receipt for it but il have a scout and try and replace the keyboard.

Do you have any other suggestions?

I don't think there's any point restoring windows as it happened on my last install

 

[fezbombmatt]

Like you said also there is nothing suspicious installed on my PC. Im careful and don't tend to install any sh*t on here.

That svchost is in C:\Windows\System32 right?

 

[fezbombmatt]

Not sure how to find that out. Sorry

 

[fezbombmatt]

Ive looked services and Plug and play and got the location of C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k DcomLaunch

So yes looks like it.

 

[VistaKing]

That's a legit file and location.

But doesnt explain why its got ADHD

Hard drive has nothing to do with software .

Have you scanned your PC lately ? Update the definitions then do a quick or full scan

 

[fezbombmatt]

Windows is up to date. Norton 360 and MBAM updated and results are zero.

Are you using a P2P or Torrant?
Are you using Home Group.

Ive used Bittorrent in the past but not installed it since this install of windows.

Dont think i have any other P2P program on here unless maybe Steam uses P2P to download game etc?

But it wouldn't thinking about it.

And no i dont use Home Group

Happened again this time its staying and not going at all. CPU is staying over 90%

PC has now been on for a while and this time i played no music at all and it seems to be fine now.

I play music from WMP, iTunes, Youtube and Radio 1 iPlayer.

However how does playing music have anything to do with the service that is causing me trouble :S

 

[VistaKing]

Right-click on the svchost.exe ( with the issue ) inside the Task Manager and click Go to services . Tell me what service it Is .

 

[fezbombmatt]

The scvhost is called Dcomlaunch but the behaviour is from PlugPlay, it shares the same, inside Services its called Plug and Play. Doesnt seem to be doing any harm while i dont play any music. Im going to turn music on now and see what happens

 

[fezbombmatt]

Ok within 5 minutes of turning BBC iPlayer on it has started. How does that effect Plug and Play service that makes no sense to me

Lets try this

Click on rb: -> Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback tab -> select “Speakers” -> “Properties” button -> Enhancements tab


Also try updating the sound card driver .
