Occasionally my PC slows to a crawl. Task manager shows
me the CPU is running at 100% continuously, and the
culprit is always javaw.exe. Shutting down this process
clears the problem. I haven't been able to tell what I
do to start that process.

I'm running XP Pro on a Dell 4600, not having any other
problems. Most common apps lately are IE, Outlook
Express, Total Recorder, Excel, RealOne.
