Post 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.
