Search in XP

It seems that whenever I use file search, the system bogs down. Task Manager shows system using up to 98% cpu. Anyone else have this problem? .......... thanks....d ;)

I'm not having any problems like that but hit CTRL ALT delete to see alll the Programs running and cancel some and try again.

Download tweak XP too. It's a great utility to free up resources.

thanks danimal but tweak xp doesn't help. this is happening on my 2 machines even when they're not networked. i'm hoping someone has experienced and found a solution for this problem. event viewer does not show anything helpful...thanks...d ;)
