CPU 100% during copying over the network

[Naveed]

I have a Windows XP pro on a PIII 750mhz laptop.
Currently it is fully patched in accordance with "Windows
update". The problem I noticed was when I tried to copy
2.8GB over the network to another machine. When the copy
operation started my CPU maxed out between 98-
100%. "explorer.exe" was taking all of the cpu runtime I
could not figure out what was causing this. I ran perform
for some help but that was useless. Event viewer did not
have any errors before, during or after the problem
started.

If any one has an idea what could be causing the CPU to
max out during copying let me know.

You could use performance monitoring to see where the bottle neck is. It
may simply be due to thrashing, excessive paging, during the operation.
