explorer.exe cpu at 99%

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
