What is SDII? It is a process that loads at startup. I have a P4 with Win XP pro and sometimes when I boot or reboot, SDII will take up to 98% of processor time and this slows down the whole system. |

This sounds a lot like a problem I saw on startup with Microtek scanners. Here is a quote from a user that had a similar problem. ""Although we received this for free with a computer purchase, it has not yet been worth it. After struggling with crashes and extremely slow speed (e.g., 60+ seconds to launch Word) and spending hours on the phone with various tech support reps, all the while thinking it was a problem with the brand new Dell or Windows XP, we encountered an error message that would pop up upon shut down. It indicated a problem with the file SDII.exe. I did a quick Google search and discovered that SDII.exe is a file that the Microtek software installs and launches on startup. The file has a known bug that causes it to hog most of your processing power and RAM. I checked the Task Manager, and sure enough, SDII.exe was there, consuming 99% of the CPU. Since that file is only necessary if you use the scanner's one-touch keys, I disabled the file, and we had our computer back."" here is a site with a workaround and info on other startup programs. http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist ... sklist.htm i hope this might help. You've helped at least 50 times in the past. [;)] |

That's it! Very good site, BTW. I DO have a Microtec scanner. I did a search on the web and was beginning to think it was a SoundBlaster problem. Thanks. |

There's a helluva lot of devilish computer problems out there you'd never think of. [xx(] |
