I performed the registry cleaner; cleaned out LOTS of stuff, but it didn't
solve the problem.
How do I startup in Safemode?

well, i think that
incredimail should be
uninstalled.
however, one way to compare
your system is to see how
well the computer works
in safemode.
in safemode, your pc is
basically running pure
windows.
in normal mode your pc is
running windows and
everything that is non
windows.
so comparing the two
enviroments above
would be helpful in
determining whether
windows is faulty or
if the programs running
are causing windows
problems.
otherwise, there are
many variables that
can cause the problems
you mentioned, including
hardware malfuntions.
one of the variables may
simply be an issue caused
by the registry. however
this is only an example. if
it were the registry, then
this would be of some help:

I hope I'm at the right place; I'm new at this & hope I'm doing it
right...
here goes...
CPU - What takes up the computer's CPU's? How do I free up some CPU's?
I
have just a little knowledge of computers/lingo, but would appreciate
what
ever advice I could get.
My computer: Feb. 2002; HP 780n; 512MB Ram; Intel Pentium 4 CPU
1.80GHz;
Windows XP Home - Upgraded to XP Professional, version 2002 with service
pack
2. [used space: 73.9 GB, Free Space: 33.1GB] I keep up with all the
program's latest updates. I have a highband cable ISP.
A few months back I have started to have slow loading programs, and it
seem to
be getting worse. Sometimes not so bad, and other times terrible!
Large programs, such as Internet Explorer 7, IncrediMail, PrintMaster 17,
Yahoo Music Jukebox, etc. have started to hit the 100% of my computer's
CPU
useage on program start-up, after load-up the useage drops back down to
around
3 or 4 %. Internet Explorer (web based programs) seem to be the worst,
changing Web pages/sites jumps the CPU useage to 100% again and it
waits/loads
as if I was on a poor dial-up ISP.
The Windows Task Manager shows usually 49 process; Commit Charge 435M to
470M
of 1246M; The Physical Memory (K) runs around: a total of 523,808 and
available 100,000 to 150,000; The Kernel Memory (K) is around 30,000
paged &
20,000 Nonpaged.
I have scanned the computer with up to date: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007;
Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Plus; and Microsoft Windows Defender, and it is
clean.
I ran the HP Help and Support Center, Instant Support Professional Editon
(online diagnostic tools): System Health Scan - with no critical issues;
Hardware Diagnostics (Processor, Memory, IDE hard disk, Modem) - with no
problems noted; and Advanced Diagnostics (Memory, IDE hard disk) - with
no
problems noted).
( I also have a: Feb. 2004; HP zd7000 Laptop; 1.00 GB Ram; Intel
Pentium 4
CPU 3.20GHz; Windows XP Media Center Edition, version 2002 with service
pack
2. With about the same exact programs as the HP 780n. [used space: 56.2
GB,
Free Space: 18.2GB] The CPU usage on it tops around the 75-80% range
when
opening the mentioned programs. This computer still operates real well,
loading programs/web pages quickly. )
