Stop using Internet Explorer It's a horrible browser very prone to little viruses........you should be using Mozilla Firefox.....it's much faster and doesn't get as many viruses as IE

You get 100% utilization even before you start any applications?
Is Zone Alarm or anything running?

Try hitting F8 as it boots up, and it will give you a choice of multiple run options. Choose Safe Mode with Netoworking. that will tell you if it is a non-driver apprication, or if you have a bad network or other driver.

Not coming from the transformer - I don't know where it came from but they are trying to soak it up with big white clothes of some kind - have dirt over part of it. I don't know why con ed is here. That is what's bugging me out. What did they do?
