Hi everyone! Im new to posting and to be honest, asking for help, crazy huh? Anyways I really like this site and everyone seems so helpful and knowledgeable. I know some about computers and how they work and Im currently in the process of learning more and while I am learning, there are still some things I dont know. The problem I have been having with my computer is that my CPU usage stays a 100%. When I first turn it on it is okay then about 10 minutes, it begins to slow down and it spikes up to 100. Please help!

A little more info about your PC could help us. It sounds like trojan or spyware. Do you have antivirus ?
Also do you have any files waiting to print or that have not been completed ......printspool ?

Yah I do have antivirus and I dont have my printer hooked up. I have a Dell pc with xp home and Im not sure what else you need to know.When I check my task manager the one item that is using most of the space is System Idle Process. And another thing, when I click on internet explorer it literally takes almost two minutes to load. Actually anything I try to open takes a long time to load. I tried a few things like a registry cleaner and disk cleanup and that wont even load. My antivirus hasnt detected anything...Im so confused!

Hi
"When I check my task manager the one item that is using most of the space is System Idle Process. "
A little explaination about System Idle Process. Imagine System Idle Process as a big cake. Every time you run a program System Idle Process gives the program a small piece so that the program can run. It is quite normal for System Idle Process to be at 98%.
Coming back to IE being slow you need to get your hands on some antispyware like Xofspy here is the link

Run it and let us know what it finds

Okay cool. Thank you very much, I will try that and get back with you. One more thing though, my regular windows apps like My Documents for example, take forever to open and only after a box comes up and says "cant load from library memory" and I push okay and it opens.
