Explorer seems to be using more cpu power than normal. My explorer doesn't use any cpu power. System Idel porsess should be useing most of the cpu.

yeah and i have zero idea about that. which sucks.

Do a repair install of windows. Everything will be kept intact exept for system files. U will need to install any updates u may have had. But only do that as a last resort.

[christopher]

is what it looks like now.. cpu usage is low(er).. but everytime i go to do something it flies back up and drops and flies back up when i click something again.

I don't see anything too suspicious. I have seen different versions of Mcafee cause problems like this, you might try disabling it temorarily and see if the problem goes away. Usually has to do with the On-Access scan and the background scanner.
Sorry, no other suggestions

sometimes when it uploads it gets all jacked up.

i dont feel like fixing it, anybody can see what they need to see from that.

but basically i'm screwed now and cant do s***.

If u are desprate, here is what i recomend:
1) Boot the computer to your Windows XP cd.
2) Select the option "setup windows XP now".
3) Accept the EULA
4) Select the windows XP installation u want to fix fro mthe list, the press the R key.
WARNING!!!: If the R key is not an option, you will lose all info on your windows install.
5) After you press the R key, it will act like it is doing a clean install, but dont worry. After u reboot it will continu to install normally. But don't worry, all of your profiles and programs will remain intact. If u had updates to windows, u will need to run windows update.

Removing this Key in the Registry and rebooting worked for me when I had a similar problem:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850D
C73E}\InProcServer32"


Any feedback would be good.

Does the problem still exist if you either boot into safe mode with or without networking, or if you disable all startup items from msconfig?

[kenkueh]

Try to scan for virus, or boot into safe mode to see how is the cpu usage. If all this done, u might need to reinstall ur OS.

very important is to disable unnecessary services like burning ,LAN,computer browser and so on
