a few days ago my computer started to be really slow.
when i look at the task manager it tells me that
explorer.exe is using a great deal of CPU. explorer has
never done this to me before. i'm running windows xp home
edition and have 512 MB of ram. i just defragmented my
computer yesterday. please help me out. thanks.
 
I started having the same problem, also, 2 days ago. Have defragged and ran virus scan. running 384 megs of ram. Anxious to see your solution.
