Task manager shows that my cpu is almost 100% busy all the time. this slows
down my computer espcially when working in my pictures. Runing xp home on

Have you done a spyware scan lately? It's been my experience that,
more often than not, general performance degradation can be traced
back to spyware.
Here are some links for good freeware utilities:
AdAware SE
www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot Search & Destroy
www.safer-networking.org
Spyware Blaster
www.javacoolsoftware.com
The first two programs will scan and clean most spyware. I run them
both, because they have different definition files. Sometimes one
will catch something the other misses.
The Spyware Blaster program is a really good utility. It prevents
spyware from getting on your machine in the first place. Since
installing it, I've rarely had anything get on my machines.
