CPU Usage at 100%

The last two days CPU usage has been at a constant 100%. I ran AdAware &
Spybot and Norton virus scan and didn't find any problems. I turned off
ZoneAlarm Pro also, and usage continued @ 100%. When checking Task Mgr I
noticed that Outlook.exe continued to run and use CPU even though Outlook
wasn't running. I stopped Outlook.exe and CPU returned to normal. Starting
& stopping Outlook does not replicate the problem. I am running Windows XP
Home Edition on a Dell Dimension 8200 cumputer with 768 Mb of Ram.

Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

Thanks for your help!

You're posting to the wrong NG. This is a programmer's NG. You should post
to a MS.Public NG based on the O/S that you're using.

Bob,

There are Outlook specific NGs as well.
