[bashy]

Actually thats a good point Magnus

Print this post!! Close all open windows including ya browser

Press CTRL, Alt and Delete and bring up the Task Manager
Click the CPU column at the top, perhaps ya might need to click twice, you are
wanting to get it to show all the items that are using the most CPU at the top

Viewing this will show you what is running and what is using the most of the CPU
resources. If you see any programs in there that you recognize such as Magnus
said, Weather modules, password programs, or anything else that is not installed
with windows as standard.

If you see anything in there that is using a lot of CPU other than System Idle Process
Task Manager, MSN, then you need to jot them down and post them here, we
can then go through them with you to see what is what and also what we can
talk you through to have them NOT startup with windows, Most programs can
be started as and when you need them and not startup with windows.

If you are comfortable with figuring out what s running and what you can disable
safely then follow this to have them not stat with windows.

Goto the start menu
Programs
Click Run...
Then type msconfig
A new box will open, click the Startup Tab
then choose the programs that you do not want to start with windows, once
you have done this, close it and restart your computer. When it boots, a popup
will show about using the something or other lol, put a tick in the box so it dont
show again,

Job done, any issues then post here
