[pchelpers] CPU

     I'm having a difficulty right now and before I partition and format 
and start over, I'll pose the question to the experts. My CPU is pegged 
at 100% most of the time now, it didn't seem to be like this before. 
Everything move at a snails pace now and it really slows down the things 
that I try to do on the computer. I have 256mb of RAM, plenty of room on 
my HD, it is a 300MHz computer. I heard it said that 300 MHz is too slow 
for XP, is it possible that is the problem? Although, until recently, I 
have not had this going on.
     My scanner recently died, and before I performed a proper burial, I 
tried to uninstall and reinstall the software for it. I've also 
installed the XP SP2. Right now it is registering at 88% sometimes, then 
up to 100% and I'm doing very little, only this typing.
     I have uninstalled SP2 and the scanner software and it continues. 
I"m thinking that it's something simple that I'm missing.
     Simple or complicated solutions will be gratefully accepted.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
