A Dell system running Windows 2000 and Office XP will go
to 100% CPU usage and stay there when she opens Word XP
and goes to My Documents. The user has had to manually
turn the system off after waiting more than 30 minutes for
it to come back from this state.

Anyone know what could cause this?

Thanks in advance
 
You tell me. In task manager (which is where you got the
100%CPU figure from I assume) simply click on the Processes
tab and see which application is using up the CPU time. You
might have to put a check in the box that says "Show all
process..)
