    Windows Task Manager

    Something is going on with my computer. It's running at 100% even when its idle, so what I was wondering is what is necesary to have windows open (e.g. explorer.exe)?

    Sounds like you may well be infected with a virus or a crapload of spy/adware.

    Get a good virus scanner (such as Norton AntiVirus) and a good spyware/adware scanner (such as Spybot Search & Destroy). Update the definitions for both and run each one.

    Hope that helps.
    I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.

    Dumb question, but have you restarted? I get that problem alot, mainly after playing certain games, or IE will take up 100%... but restarting has always fixed the problem for me.

    I just downloaded the current definitions with no avail. One wierd thing is, when I run Norton's it finds 15 virussss but it tells me I can't delete them.

    Try running a free online scan by Trend Micro.
    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

    It has found and cleaned a couple of things that Norton didn't get before for me.
    I use it as a back-up to Norton.

    here's a list of services for XP
    http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

    and for 2000
    http://www.blackviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm

    Read through them and see what you need. I cut a 15% CPU usage at idle on a fresh install of XP down to 2% using it.

    Whole lot o' crap that needn't be running by default

    Delete all your restore points, then you should be able to get rid of all the viruses.
