Have you tried another user profile to see if the issue resides there as well? I had a similar (not exactly the same) issue before and the issue only presided on the user's profile and not any others.

Um, from what i am understanding of a user profile I only have one. Are talking about this link? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile Hmmm.

Yes, but you dont need to do that with out testing it first. Create a new profile first and see if the issue is still present in that one.

This is what i wrote about creating a new user profile/account in my Answer forum: Well the report is that now i have unintentionally created more problems for myself because trying to follow the instruction the best that i could to move the documents Old to Documents new (NOT the copy paste) and i kept getting that i didnt have the admin rights that i had to admin continue or merge and that it couldnt be moved because it was in use. the majority of it did move and i was trying to check through the move and i was surprised that Appdata>temp didnt move and so tried to do so and ran into the problems i described before. and so currently i have the other two accounts and am not sure when i am supposed to delete them. and am using the new account one program didnt start because it said that access is denied. i uninstalled it and reinstalled it. i really hope that i dont have to reinstall everything. I have done this before and when i did it the last time i ran into crashes because the drive was so messed up that i had to reinstall. hence the reason i have been hesitant to do this. i had to name the old account/profile old and than the one i am using the name i had before and created another account/profile and named that temp an have left the guest account on. The instructions are not very clear http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile I currently dont have anything reported in Warnings errors or criticals but as soon as i do i will post it. the good news is though that i am utilizing far less CPU than previously it was stuck around 20% and is now idling around 5%. and the gadgets are working the way they should. the other interesting this about this is that i have been monitoring temperature and when the profile was corrupted the temperature was around 98.6+(CPU) and the motherboard was the same +, in the new profile the temperature has been around 91.4+

Im wondering if i should make the old account profile standard instead of admin to help along the moving of files to the new account.?

It is not really necessary to delete an inactive profile. As to lowering the rights to the profile it should not be necessary but could possibly work. If you find there to be permission errors on specific folders try taking ownership of them with the new account. Right-click the item, properties, security, advanced, owner tab. As to the event error i have not seen that to occur before, but the fact that it is hanging onto the old acccount reg key is not surprising. Most software should cary to the new profile but some might not work according to profile if the original one was corrupt to begin with. But it looks like this was the root cause and now you just have to wory about fine tuning other aspects. As to the CPU being stuck so high, it could have been a rouge program that was malfunctioning or could have been malware. Run malwarebytes on your machine to be on the safe side.

Thankyou for replying SHane, I would really like to only have one profile. How do i take ownership of those specific folders, (i havent found those yet but if i do)., I tried to rename the new user folder and it wonldnt let me., if i go into the old account it will let me rename it. I tried to do the right click> properties> security> advanced> and set the control settings ( not owner yet) and i had gotten a warning. There is no malware i have mcafee goin and it has not detected anything out of the ordinary, and as far as the CPU it was taxed around twenty percent because the OS was slow and non-responsive due to this user profile being corrupted and was heating up the computer because the CPU was having to work so hard i knew that wasnt normal because i have watched this AMD 1090t six-core idle from 1-5%. its cool to see that, i remember seeing dual cores idling at twenty percent+, and is what my quad core is doing on my other computer (notebook)
