RE: XP Peformance

May be something is hanging?

I have a program that send CPU to 100% occasionally at start OR in the
middle of a process within the program OR after closing the program.

The only way I ID'd the exe was as the application disappeared from
Application window in WTM its associated .exe was still present under
Processes listing

A smart prod on closing the process helped
