Task Manager using 100% CPU

[Park]

I have the same exact problem as well, however it's not
exactly how it got started. Everything is now slowed
down, after One: putting in a music CD my friend burned
for me and two: after installing MusicMatch Jukebox. I
uninstalled MM Jukebox and performance improved slightly,
but it seems like that it created a full memory leak and
now my CPU Usage is now at 100% all the time and barely
goes down. I don't want to use system restore because
even though they claim to have saved all files and only
restored settings, it does not.
