Re: CPU easily maxes out in WinXp Pro, IE slow loading

I would strongly recommend a clean boot- because it's completly reversable. The startup applications will remain visible in msconfig, and you can possibly diagnose the problem in this way, if it is simply too many startups.

But Michelle is right- if you run into any problems with applications, go back in and reenable stuff. Mozilla and IE are not affected by any of the user commanded startup programs, so they at least shouldn't give you any trouble.
