My windows xp system / pc is extremely slow, have de fragmented etc, Task manager is showing System idle process running at approx 88%. Is there a way of fixing this without forking out lots of money or no money at all ? |

Maybe do a spyware/adware and anti virus scan if you have not already, and download ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) and run to help clean up... |

isnt that normal for system idle to be around 88%? or even 90? |

System Idle is when the CPU is doing nothing so the higher the better. |

System idle process is supposed to be a high number unless the PC is using a lot of it's CPU power, mine usually sits 95-99% in Windows. |

Yeah it is the exact opposite of what the other processes do. System Idle shows how MUCH you have to use. |

90% is still bad, 99% is the norm if you aren't doing anything. Run checkdisk and then scan your pc with nod 32. |
