ok my computer's usage has been jumping straight to the 90s whenever i open a window, mostly the internet. and whenever im in itunes and i make a change to song, like moving it to a different folder or just changing the name, the music will start skipping and the somputer usage will jump up to the 90s again. my computer has 512 ram and is 2.5 ghz so i dont know whats wrong.

Have you scanned for spyware and try closing any processes you dont need running?
*Try scanning for spyware first. *Defrag your hard drive You might also have alot of programmes & stuff starting with windows that you dont realy need.

Open task manager> processes and see what exactly is taking all the memory. If it is simple programs with full CPU usage, you could have some spyware or virus or even a memory problem.

no i have the mcafee security. its not running at a high cpu usage constantly. open for the few seconds when im opening a window or making settings changes. when i look in the processes, i just see the current window taking up the usage. for instance, whenever i open a new firefox window (while looking at the processes) itll show the firefox process jump to the 90s and then go back down, so theres no programs using it up constantly.
i was just wondering why it takes so much to just open a window or make a change in itunes settings or whatnot. |

Thats just the fact you have 512Mbs of RAM. Used to that was fine but you're seeing the program load into the ram and when it speeds back up it's loaded. It would be less noticable with 1gb of Ram. But thats the cost of speed.

Yes the more memory you have the better realy but i think that your system is probably just loaded with spyware and viruses. Did you scan it? Also Run Hijack this and post the log here for us to see.

Your log's clean. Check your DMA status. Go into Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager. Expand 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' and double click on Primary IDE Channel. Go to Advanced Settings and ensure that 'Current Transfer Mode' is set to DMA and not PIO.
If it says PIO, try the following: http://winhlp.com/WxDMA.htm
