Hello,

I am currently running WinXP Pro on a brand new Dell
2.0Ghz with 256mg RAM and 40gig HD. I noticed the system
would take a long time to get out of screen saver mode so
I looked at the Performances Tab under Windows Task
Manager. The CPU History displays 100% at all times.

I updated the windows OS with all the latest updates from
MS but I still have the problem. I have not loaded any
programs since receiving the computer two weeks ago.

If anyone has thoughts of this problem I would appreciate
it. The Computer works but works slow.

I am going to call Dell to see if they can help me but I
doubt it.

Processes running high:
EXPLOROR.EXE 15,000K
SVCHOST.EXE 12,000K

Thanks in advance!

Triz
 
Thanks for the replies. I figured out the problem. It
was a service that should have not been running that was
doing it.

Thanks again!
