Cool Too Many Codec Packs

First no disrespect but I gotta hand it to you Guys for deciphering that! LOL

But I wanted to add that when you install multiple codec pack's like this guy said he did,then your likely to run into Media Player trouble.
Your bound to corrupt one filter or another.

Which is why it's good to"stick with one that works for you".

But if it was Me I'd start all over
I would uninstall all Codec packs then Java & Limewire too.

Then I'd open IE6 if that is the browser you are on & select
TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/GENERAL TAB/SETTINGS/VIEW OBJECTS & delete all files in there as well!(java,shockwave,flash)

Then run a tool called Cleanup http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/



Once done with that stage I would make use of the GSpot Tool(stand alone version)http://www.headbands.com/gspot/gspot252dl.html
To check for broken or damaged Codecs & remove them.
You can open Gspots help file it will tell you how to remove Broken Codecs.


Then use some sort of cross linked file checker & reg tool like
TuneUp Utilities or Reg Cleaner or CCleaner to try & clean all that mess up.

Now that all that is done you need to ask yourself why 90% of your CPU is being used, well it sounds like it's time for a Online Malware scan at Ewido or FSecure.
Then run Ad Aware! http://www.lavasoft.com/
Then Spybot! http://www.safer-networking.org/en/support/index.html

Afterwards run Hijack-This & save a log file & have it analyzed @
http://hjt.networktechs.com/
There is a HJT-log analyzer there,& it's easy to use.
It will tell you if something is running that should not be.
If so then you should join a forum & ask for help in removing it.
Because something is not rite there Bud 90% !



Once you know your clean reboot & install Javacool's Spyware Blaster http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
& start reinstalling the latest versions you can get of Java & Limewire.

You say you download Anime & the likes then search for this;
Combined-Community-Codec-Pack
It's supposed to be the best for Anime.
Which ever Codec Pack You use make sure you scan it first as some Codec Packs are dubious.
I personally would use the latest Klite Codec Pack but everyone has something bad to say about all Codec packs,so take your pick.

Then Lastly I'd install Ewido.

Well thats where I would start, good luck!

PS; "This is just what I would try"
Let the critique begin.
