Nigel,
First make a list of the processes that come on when you turn
Tradestation on. Now turn on Tradestation. Now if the processor is
running 100% start turning off processes one at a time. Watch the
processor indicator. Easy simple quick and free. Forget device
drivers. What device do you think is running other than your network
connection. Open a browser instead of Tradestation if you are worried
about a driver. It will act up then. You don't need kernel info.
Just find the process that is causing the high cpu usage. Also note
that AVG's process is avgcc.exe. I think you said it doesn't run full
time. Mine does. It isn't a problem for me but maybe it is for you.
Forget the kernel stuff just look at the processes and how much memory
they are using. That will get you to the source. Make it easy. Go
for the fix.

Thanks for the sysinternals link. I tried some of their stuff but
unfortunately, none of it gets down to the kernel level. If these guys
can't do that then I guess it's probably impossible to see what kernel
processes/device drivers are spinning the processor other than to deactivate
device drivers one at a time. I guess I'll just have to lose some of my
screens for a couple of days. Ha.
Thanks a lot for the ideas.
Sincerely,
Nigel

Nigel,
You might try the (free) process explorer utility from sysinternals.com
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
It gives a lot more detail than the standard task monitor.
They have a bunch of very useful and tricky freeware utilities. Definitely
worth a look, there are a bunch of their utilities that I load whenever I
set up a new system.
