Hi
Here's my opportunity. About 10 minutes or so after rebooting my cpu usage goes to 100%. This just started about 3 weeks ago. I've had this computer for a year and a half and have never had this happen. I've always monitered CPU usage, that's why I'm aware of this. The programs I have running in the background are the same ones I've always had.I've even tried to close those programs and still show 100% cpu usage. One strange thing is that if I open a program e.g. Word Perfect or something, the cpu usage drops back off to virtually 0 where it normally runs.No screen savers are running. I'm running a Pentium III 600 with 256 mg of ram. Also no new hardware installed in the last 6 months.I did install Microsoft Office 97 about a month ago and thought that might be it. Uninstalled it and it didn't help.
Any help woud be appreciated.
Thanks
