explorer.exe cpu at 99%

[eyahs]

running a dell Gx260 512m ram 1000mPagefile 2.4ghz
running winXPpro
problem is this. constantly my system stalls out. when i
pull up task manager, explorer is sitting there thrashing
along at 75-100% eating every spare bit of cpu time it
can get i believe this may be related to an install of
windowblinds but i uninstalled it and the problem still
persists


does anyone have any suggestions?
i am open to any questions regarding this issue

You may wish to perform a "tune-up" that may help:

1. Perform a DISK CLEANUP:
(Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup)

2. Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter. In the Command
Prompt window type: CHKDSK /F , and hit enter, answer "yes" and
reboot your computer.

3. Afterward, perform a DEFRAG of your hard drive.

Use Performance Monitor to localize where the problem is at.
