Explorer running at 99% CPU load..need help, please.
I was testing a vicious, virus-like program called Snapstream to do timed recordings (since noone here had any suggestions earlier) and after discovering that it's try-ware version only allows 30 minute recordings, I uninstalled it.
Now, whenever I open a directory (in WinXP Pro) containing a WMV file, explorer jumps to 99% and stays there until I kill it in the task manager. I manually reinstalled all my codecs, checked for updates/patches/ and did a virus scan (Norton). Still have the problem. This is prolly a longshot and I will have to reinstall Windows, but does anyone have any ideas to fix this?

Have you tried running a spyware program like Ad Aware or Spyware?
