i have done different troubleshooting, when it happens the programs dllhost.exe shows up in the task manager but then goes away after a couple seconds, and explorer.exe cpu usage goes to 80 to 100%. i have also tried turning off vista aero, and going to vista basic theme, and turning off certain programs vista runs by default but still it happens. i dont know whats going on here, if its just on of those things that make vista the best operating system ever  (sarcasm)has this happend to anyone else? Please help |

How much RAM do you have?
Do you have much stuff on your Desktop? You can try the free program Process Explorer ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysintern...ssExplorer.mspx ) to figure out what's running beneath the dllhost.exe process. -------------------- - John

my system does this a little, the cpu doesn't seem to max as long as yours, but the icons reloading happens fairly often, I suspect it's related to my lamer/older gaming video card having trouble keeping up with my overclocked cpu and premium ram
running xp with performance not appearance settings -------------------- Chewy

well in a laptop when it's idling and/or relying on battery power the cpu clocks down, that video card is not all that fast or powerful, and vista has a huge footprint
if it's only a couple of seconds then I wouldn't worry about it -------------------- Chewy
