Vista 100% cpu usage spikes WLAN autoconfig?

Hi all,
I am having real difficulties with Vista Ultimate.


Its such a POS.

I am using*Vista SP1 running on an Acer Travel mate 8200 something or other. Damn I am so sick of this crappy os I am so close to going back to XP.

Whenever you think its working fine you get yet another*problem.


This is a fairly recent install
I have the following installed on it:
VS2008, VS2005, SQL developer edition, Adobe Fireworks, MS office 2007, Firefox and FTP voyager.
I have ran anti virus scans etc
Happens about 70% of the time after initial bootup immediatly
I have turned indexing off
I used sys internals process monitor to narrow this down to a service called WLAN autoconfig if I stop this it runs at about 50-60% cpu usage (which still seems high but at least is usuable)


I looked this up and there is a setting you can click to turn off searching for better networks which can cause issues but this didnt seem to work for me.

Any ideas or*shall I just junk this rubbish OS?
