MICROSOFT XP SYSTEM LOCK UP

[SNGLPOPS]

NEED HELP REGARDING A SYSTEM THATS SLOWS DOWN TO NOTHING
AFTER LOGGING IN USER.
AFTER CLICKING ANY ICON, IT TAKES ABOUT OVER 60 SECONDS
FOR ANY KINK OF RESPONSE.
AFTER CHECKING TASK MANAGER I NOTICE CPU USAGE IS AT 100%
UPON CHECKING PROCESSES AMD IMAGE NAME I NOTICE THAT A
FILE
{MSDOS.EXE} IS SUCKING UP 92% OF THE CPU.
WHEN I HIGHLIGHT THIS FILE AND DO AN (END PROCESS)
THE SYSTEM RESOURCES GO DOWN TO A HEALTHY LEVEL OF ABOUT
35%. HOW CAN I KEEP THIS PROCESS (MSDOS.EXE)FROM
LOADING, OR FROM IT EFFECTING MY SYSTEM.
WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP, AS I AM NEW TI THIS GAME.
THANKS
PETER

Go to RUN then type in msconfig and enter. Click on the startup tag and
uncheck it.

That is a good way to shut down many things including most of the
essential protections for the computer.
In other words, this is a VERY BAD idea.

Also, please do not use ALL CAPS in newsgroups.
ALL CAPS is considered shouting and rude.
