Hello people! I am hoping you can help me as you have been great the last couple of times I've needed advice !grin.gif|___jive_emoticon_name=grin|jivemacro=emoticon|class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=grin.gif!
I have a PCV-RS402 &, after a recent reformat, I noticed my CPU keeps spiking to 100%
(possibly caused by right-clicking on icons in Explorer though I am not absolutely certain of that)
Anyway, luckily I remembered a Hotfix relating to CPU spiking in the Driver & Software Updates section of Club-Vaio. So, no problem, I thought, & I skipped happily off to get it straight away.
(ok, I didn't skip, but you know what I mean, I was pleased there was an easy fix for my problem!happy.gif|___jive_emoticon_name=happy|jivemacro=emoticon|class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=happy.gif!)
However,when I attempted to run the fix, the file extracted to 100% & I then got the following error message:
"The Target File Not Found"
Now, I double-double checked, & I did follow the instructions word for word (I mean, they aren't exactly complex after all) So, feeling a bit peeved, I sat & thought for a bit & here is what I came up with.....
+ - the only thing I can think might ....
...&, rather sadly, that was about as far as my thoughts went on this,
So, as you are all far more knowledgeable on these matters than me, I wondered if you might know how to fix this fix? Here is the gumph relating to it in case that helps at all... (from this page. )

Or, even better, I wondered if you might have any other possible solutions to my random CPU spikage problem?(spikage being highly technical terminology of course) It does only happen when I am using explorer & is USUALLY when I try to right click on items in My Documents. (which doesn't sound like a problem to bring here I know, however, as there is such a relevant-sounding hotfix offered to me by Sony...)
Anyway, I'll go for now, but I am looking forward to reading any replies I get, & I'd like to say thank you in advance for your time & assistance
Take Care
