    hey all!
    I got a problem with my computer which is annoying the hell outta me! When i boot it takes an absolute age for any program to run! Ive checked the task manager and it notes that the CPU is running at 100%, this never drops below 70%. ive tried stopping processes and stopping apps running @ startup but nothing worked!
    the screen shot below shows processes and cpu percentage. Any ideas on how to solve this much appreciated! Also ive gotten a lot of unwanted out of the blue restarts with no warning! Im running XP service pack 1 on a P3 with 384 mb of ram.

    Use microsofts "msconfig" from the run command. go to the startup tab and remove ticks marking anything for musicmatch
