This isn't my computer, it's somebody elses. All the tests come out clean, yet simply opening Firefox takes up 87% of the processor speed. I'm trying to avoid a complete reformat. Attached are the files. iseeyouxp.txt hijackthis.log msxml4-kb927978-enu.log

Everything seems to be back in relative order. The computer still seems a wee bit slow. The processor spikes to 100% just to try and open an additional IE6 window, but then again after doing all of this I have yet to run a CHKDISK or a defrag, so that's probably part of the problem right there. Once opened, the CPU usage dips back down to 5% or less. Everything appears to be in relative order. Actually, never mind. It's still taking far too long even after everything is set. The current memory usage is 253 MB on a 1 GB machine. Befuddling. Thanks. hijackthis.log iseeyouxp.txt
