Just out of curiousity, check to see if there is a file called "CTHELPER.EXE" running, if so end it and see what happens. It is for you Agility drivers, which have had problems, and I am on a hunch that it might be this. I'v seen lots of other with this problem, and it's an known issue.

Edit: I see you have the file, just try ending it.

Do you have Norton on that computer? Every computer I had with Norton had a CPU usage problem, my solution was complete format and use another firewall as in my personal experience with Norton; It sucked bad.

I'd recommend Zone Alarm if you wish to purchase one, and if you need an Anti Virus program, go for AVG, they have a free edition and I've never had a virus I couldn't take care off with it ;)

Hope you get it sorted mate!

another possible reason could be Something Like Cool N Quiet what my XP 2600+ did while it was idleing the cpu would go to 100% cooling itself
