Win 2k - resource problem

[Steve B]

Ok, need alittle assistance if someone could lend a hand
i would be abilged. I built a computer, 1.8 proc, 1 gig
ram, duel 100 gig hd's, 128 Video, She worked like a
Beaut for the time i used her but... i sent it thru UPS
to a friend. Now i had it booted up the day before it
left and it was fine.. she gets it and its running
extraodinarily slow.. when looking at the processes it
says system is running at 100% when she is running 1
program. but even if its running at 4% the computer is
retardedly slow... she uses AOL (yes..yes i know its not
me its her heh) But the computer is so lagged that she
cant even chat on aol cause it takes forever to do things
like enter the text she typed to send. Anyone have an
idea what may have happened?

what does the task manager show as the application that is taking up all of
the CPU time?

Well when nothing is running it says What it should that
system idle takes up the majority of it.
