What processes are using the most resources?
Ctrl/Alt/Del and look at Processes tab.

Download Adaware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove parasites.
It is normal to have a number of Svchost.exe process entries appearing in Task Manager. For the process generating the high usage how is the User described? Next whilst Task Manager is showing high usage change from the Process Tab to the Application Tab. Then select each running Application in turn, right click and select "Go to Process" and see if you can identify the application causing the high usage.

Next select Start, Administrative Tools, Services. Compare the list of services with those shown as Started and for each in turn stop the service and observe the effect. If the CPU usage in Task Manager continues or something stops working restart the service. When you have found the likely cause i.e. the CPU usage stops then post details of what you have found.

Hope this helps.

my cpu use is at 100% too. however, the culprit is something called realsched.exe. Does anyone know what this does? Is it safe to end the process? Suggestions? this has been going on since yesterday. sure makes it hard to get anything done. I'm running xppro too.

Go to Real One Player.
Look for something like "Options" or "Settings".
There is probably as place to stop it from loading at boot or
Start-up.
