if it says 100% under performance, if you click
on "processes" it will list all running processes and in
the column "cpu" it displays the % of cpu usage, you may
find several proceses using different %'s of the cpu(add
them up), if thats the case then you need to establish
what the proceses are and if they are needed at all. a
process needs to be run in order for the cpu to run any %
of usage..
Does the 100% only happen when you are online or does it
happen all the time, if its when you are online, download
adaware from
www.lavasoft.de and run it, it could be
spyware running on your pc thats causing the problem.
Let me know.
