My xp uses from 40 to 50 percent of prosessor whole the time and scanned with
every tool I have so it isn't a virus or ad/spy/mallware. I have tried
ewerything I know and the problem solves when I enter the faulttolerancemode.
I tried to shutsown programs in normal mode but didn't work!
 
What are your computer specs? This can often be caused by a slower computer
that does not have enough processing power for xp but still works with xp.
You may try using Hijack this and sending the log to the folks at their forum
so that they can see all the processes running. Also if you've just recently
added a anti-virus program that could be the cause of the high processor
usage. So get back to us with your specs and a little more detail.

FaultToleranceMode = Safe Mode ?
If that is what you're saying, then it is most definitely a 3rd-party
application
or service causing the system loading. Have you use TaskMgr, Processes
(TAB) [with additional columns] to watch the system real-time ? For more
detailed process viewing, use ProcessExplorer from SysInternals. Also, in
a case like this, it's always good to check both System & Application event
logs. Check for Red Icons that denote errors. Which security tools are you
speaking about ?

Task Manager is useful but you could look at another freeware utility
Process Explorer, which provides similar information but adds that
little bit extra towards seeing what the running processes represent.

For further information about Process Explorer see here:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

How much RAM memory. Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring Task Manager and
select the Performance Tab. What is the Commit Charge? What was the
Peak?

Your hard drive? Is it partitioned? How much free space on
each partition. How is the drive formatted -FAT32 or NTFS. To
get this information whilst in Windows Explorer place the cursor on the
drive, right click and select Properties.

Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files.

Delete all but the most recent Restore Point ( Start, Programs,
Accessories, System
Tools, Disk Cleanup, More options).

Run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start, All Programs, Accessories,
System
Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.

Do clean-boot troubleshooting:

and How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -

Also, look at whatever printer software you have. HP's are notorious for
loading up the startup with updaters, monitoring programs, etc. that
have been known to suck up system resources.

How about disabling all startup progs to see if it makes any difference.

Try this:

start, Run, msconfig /all

Now go startup tab
Disable all
OK
Restart

See if it made any difference.

If it works then you will need to restart things like, anti-virus,
anti-spyware etc. to keep you protected.
