Re: XP Home dire slow boot up

CPU running at 100% would point to an issue with a program starting up or a virus. Can you boot from an XP CD and re-install, choose to leave the files intact and only remove the Windows Folder?
If you can't boot to Safe mode then you are stuck for ways around it

If you can use your login then something on the other profile is knackered, can you get into the start up menu for that profile or use this

to stop anything running from startup on that profile which could be causing the problem? If you are an admin try checking the admin tools, event viewer for issues.
