my processor usage is always 100%. I have checked this with programs such as wintercooler and active CPU and it all says the same. should it be like that?

Check with the performance manager.
Just press CTRL+ALT+DEL (one time) and go in performance you will see the performance of your CPU.
Im sure that the program your using are not nade for XP.

direct connect is the program using most CPU time? could that be it? I don't think I have downloaded it since a installed win xp but I had win2k before and therefore I had the version for win2k. but I'll try installing the xp version and see it that helps.
It comes from a software called CPUFanControl pre-installed when you buy your computer. Best thing is it's not even listed on the "Add/Remove Programs" list.
Only have to browse to the directory they installed it in and remove it since it's your computer, I got no idea where they might put it. Or, reinstall windows only and also reinstall every driver and software besides that CPUFanControl.
Hope that helps.

I didn't buy my computer with windows pre-installed. I've put it together part by part and installed everything myself. I searched the directory for CPUFanControl and came up with nothing. But I installed DC for XP and it seems to work better now.
