CPU at 100%

[Zakaria]

Hello

Can anyone help with the following:

Everytime we run a program that requires some processing, eg: running disk
cleanup, or a large excel spreadsheet or document, the CPU usage for that
process increases to 100% and it take a long time, more than a few minutes,
for the operation to finish.

The PCs specs is P4 2.4Ghz with 512MB RAM and XP SP3.

Please can you assist

There's nothing particularly unusual about that.

Add more memory. You only have 512MB of memory.
