Hopefully this is in the right section. If it's not I'm sorry, because I'm not very experienced with computers at all. Lately, I thought I understood task manager and I started messing with it. I was stupid and deleted javaw several times thinking it would temporarily boost my computer's speed. Now my CPU usuage is going crazy sometimes staying at 100% sometimes staying at 2% and my internet explorer is taking up 42,000K. I'm not sure if that's bad or good, but my computer has slowed down to be extremely slow and sometimes windows dissapear without me even pressing anything. Please help!
It's not a good ideal to mess with the processes in task Manager, because those are there to make your computer run smoothly! Processes are information being prossesed, so things that are running, will have some sort of process to them.
If you messed up the java process, try re-installing JAVA. Usualy a processes comes back if you restart your computer. Can you find out what process is taking most of the % of your CPU when it's going 100%?
EDIT: here's a link to the JAVA downlaod place if you need it:

Hopefully that will restore the missing processes. Good luck
