reboot the computer!

Reboot the system works if this is a temporary condition. If you are always running into this issue you may be out of luck.
The best way to speed up an existing system is to add more memory (RAM) to the computer - to prevent Windows from using your hard drive as memory.
Also make sure that you have at least 2-5GB of free HD space, and make sure to defragment your HD.
If you already have 1GB of RAM, and 5GB or more of free HD, and you are still running into 100 % CPU utilization doing your computer tasks then it is time for a new computer with a faster CPU.
Good luck

As much as I hate to say it, you're no doubt loaded with viruses, trojans, keyloggers etc., that are using your computer to do their mass mailouts and their dirty work, therefore taking up all of the memory. When your system gets to this point, it's best to remove Windows completely and re-install it again. Once that's done, with the help of the proper security programs, you may can keep it from happening again. If I can help you with those programs, let me know. Larry RadioShack 01-9590
