I have XP, when I boot normally, my hard drive is running all the time. When I start XP it takes 20 mins to start, whenever I start a new program it take a long time to start, but once it started it runs fine.
This started about a week ago, since then I have scanned for spyware and virus, with several programs. I found minor stuff but nothing that solved the problem. I also replaced my hard drive with no difference.
With Process Explorer it show system idle process around 70%
Also when I start in safe mode the system seems to work ok.
My system specs
XP sp 2
AMD 3200
3 gig ram
500 gig hd
Thanks for any help!
