I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and I started having this problem about 3 days ago. Whenever I open a folder containing .flv files in windows explorer, the CPU usage goes through the roof. If the view is set to show thumbnails, the CPU usage goes to 100% as soon as I open that folder. I tried searching around on google and other tech forums, and most of them said try switching thumbnails off. So I set the view type to list/details. Now opening the folder makes the CPU take 70% and as soon as I select a file (single click), the CPU goes up to 100% again. This is only happening with .flv files, all my other video formats are working fine.
I have tried searching for this problem, and the few solutions I found were :
1) Uninstall Quick Time - didn't work
2) Reinstall Mozilla Firefox - didn't work
3) Delete registry entry for .flv thumbnail generation - didn't work
4) Reinstall VLC player and K-Lite codec pack - didn't work
5) Defragment hard disk - didn't work
6) Removing thumbnail generation altogether - didn't work
My computer specs are :
3.00 Ghz AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad Core Processor
4 GB DDR3 RAM
1 GB nVidia GeForce 9500 GT
1 TB Samsung HD103SI SCSI hard disk
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
I have the licensed version of Kaspersky 2010 ver 9.0.0.736 and a full scan came up with nothing. I tried running AdAware, Spybot, a squared and other such programs, but they came up with nothing either.
Some help in fixing this would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time, cheerio~
