    It is supposed to do that in order to save power and lower heat output when the system isn't being used. Google "intel speedstep" for more info.

    You might want to check Ctrl-Alt Del and see what processes are running... Or use this program... It's a cool freeware program that will tell you everything about what is running...

    It's called Process Explorer. Made by Microsoft...

    You don't need speedstep with XP... It's already in there I thought... Controlled via the power panel.
