Andrew - I Have the same problem. It is a program called
msckin.exe which is using virtually all CPU power. This
program cannot be killed in the Task Manager - it keeps
returning. I did a search of my files, and it appears to
be a .pf program related to XP usage (prefetch) Not sure
what that is. I cannot use the computer it is so slow.
Any help please let me know.
