Laptop CPU on 100%
Hi
As title says, I have a laptop that is stuck on 100% CPU
I made a mistake of high lighting about 10 word documents and right clicking then selecting Print
It then opened up Office 2007 several times then grinding to a halt
Have rebooted about 6 times every time it comes on CPU is on 100%
Nothing in the running tasks are taking up more memory than necessary
Any ideas? running Windows 7 64-bit

What's taking up CPU? Kernel?
Reboot in safe mode. Delete word recovery files (assume you have the files saved). Reboot again in normal. That's all I could think of. Oh... don't forget chkdisk. -

Have you checked all the print ques on the computer? Do they have print jobs in them? Delete them if so. Have you tried system restore to restore back to a point prior to opening all the documents? Have you run procmon and procexp to see if there is anything else coming up? -
