Windows processes

[daveystella]

Hi.
My desktop PC recently dies, and I'm now forced to play on an ACER Aspire laptop, which isnt exactly ideal.
The game can get very choppy at times and, when I checked task manager, I noticed that the the cpu was running at 100%. The only apps open are freelancer companion, disco launchpad, Razer Cortex and, obviously, FL.
when I looked at the processes, I noticed a lot of things running and I cant for the life of me figure out why.
What's a MAPI1.0 repar tool and why do I want it? Windows picture application wizard, Win32 cabinet self extractor, Microsoft directplay helper, DVDupgrd and Microsoft directplay 8 server, to name but a few. Each of these can use up to 20% of the CPU, not to mention a shed load of memory. If I kill the process, it just respawns.

Any helpful suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cheers
