Old HP computer...Will Vista install/run?

If it's not your own business here is my suggestion.

1) Tell him it's not viable and charge him $200
2) Move up here to WI
3) Start a business with me doing network installations
4) We make enough money to take vacations to the Caribbean when we want.
5) We send the people with computer problems to Geek Squad and still charge them for our "assessment" time.
6) We have regular Board of Director meeting that involve copious amounts of beer and Prime Rib.
7) Repeat steps 4 through 6 until we only have to do steps 4 and 6

Sound good? *Wink

 

Strange idea... possible to cluster computers on a network for general processing?

Not so strange...

Computer running slowly (possibly because of process 'WmiApSrv.exe')

Hey,

Seemingly out of nowhere for the past week my computer's been running very slowly when it comes to low intensity games / browsing. Specifically whenever I open a flash game my browser freezes. And whenever I'm playing WoW and there's like 20+ people on the screen it slows to a crawl. It's never done this before and I can't find any link as to why it's happening... The only thing I discovered was in my task manager- there is a process called WmiApSrv.exe that is constantly going from "running" to "stopped" every 3 seconds or so. My CPU/Disk usage seem to be fine in Resource Monitor but there's a huge list of these "WmiApSrv.exe" processes listed as 'terminated' every time it restarts itself. I looked online for this process but there doesn't seem to be a general consensus on whether it was a necessary service or not and I don't want to go turning off a potentially beneficial service without knowing.

So, I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue, but it's the only thing I can find that seems out of place. I've run malwarebytes twice now, updated graphics drivers and restarted my computer.

edit- I remembered one more thing that's out of place- when I restart my computer I get an error message that pops up. I've attached a screenshot. I can only imagine it is some kind of virus attempting to start, but I'm not sure. It started popping up around the time my computer started slowing down.
