Default CPU at 100%

Hello

Can anyone help with the following:

Everytime we run a program that requires some processing, eg: running disk
cleanup, or a large excel spreadsheet or document, the CPU usage for that
process increases to 100% and it take a long time, more than a few minutes,
for the operation to finish.

The PCs specs is P4 2.4Ghz with 512MB RAM and XP SP3.

Please can you assist
