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.
It would be easier if you just pasted your process tree here for us to see.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

Right, Ok, some total and utter idiot (definately not me) decided to disable win32 Cabinet self extractor and now, Disco wont run.
This moron (again, not me, honest), can't remember how he did it. He (whoever he may be), came back from the the pub after 8 pints of cider, did something on the windows "run" menu, ran something.wsg? and set it to disabled.
Ok, this is now getting problematic.
Windows repair won't work, cos there isn't a problem with windows per-se. It's just that the cab self extractor has been disabled.
I just need to know how to re-enable it.
Cheers.
[EDIT]
Ok, progress of sorts.
I can re-enable it with the group policy editor, apparrently. Only problem now, is that when I open it, I can't find that particular part.
