Power Hog

[Guest Paul Lady]

My laptop running W2K has turned into a power hog. It takes 70 watts now

and it used to take 40 watts. The fan runs all the time!

 

I've tried virus scan for power virus, reducing the processes running to

bare minimum, no luck.

 

Any ideas?

 

TIA, pjl

"power virus" ?

No such thing!
