We opted to do a fresh install of XP. It went fine and everything is
working well. The owner told me she deleted a bunch of files. She thinks
she may have deleted something she should not have.
I put the computer on the network and updated everything including XP.
She should be fine. If she ever gets internet again, we will get the
virus and firewall protection running and up to date.
Thanks for all the help and patience.

Subject: Re: HARDware: CPU usage 100%
Sorry for the late response - I'm in the UK, and it was well past
bedtime Surprised that you cannot identify an activity/service that
accounts for the CPU usage -
The Delta values indicate OS action - usually associated with pagefile
management or use - that can slow the system without showing as CPU
usage - because it's actually waiting for disk response and if there are
2 activities incrementing pagefaults - then that indicates a problem
with insufficient memory to run both those activities concurrently
Probably ruled out problems due to incompatible memory and comms
controller problems I presume that AVG has not been updated as it has no
network connection - that and the SP1 level means the system is at risk
- could be it's been got at and something is trying desperately to phone
home (while hiding itself from the monitors etc)
So - what is actually informing you that CPU usage is at 100% ??
And what activities are started - if not actually reported as using CPU?
