In the Task Manager>Processes tab make sure that CPU & CPU Time columns are selected (View>Select Columns). Click twice on the CPU column header and that will put the process that is using the most CPU cycles at the top. Ignore System Idle Process, a high value for that is a good thing. Post back what process(es) is/are using the CPU cycles.
Nick.

That 248 MB Ram is extremely low for WinXP Home--should have at least 512 MB and 1 Gig would be better.
