here's a thread that might help you.  http://forum.oscr.arizona.edu/archive/index.php/t-1973.html
You need to check that your pagefile is set correctly.

You say you have windows XP so first find out how much ram you have (512MB)


Start > Control Panel > Advanced > Performance Settings > Advanced > Set Processor Useage and Memory useage to "Programs.

Click "Change" under Virtual Memory:

Set Custom Size to:
Initial Size = 1.5X RAM Amount (1.5 * 512 = 782) 782MB
Maximum Size = 2 X RAM Amount (2 * 512 = 1024) 1024MB

Ok that and reboot

oh no..............................i have misstyped or asked some thing else ...........Sorry ...............well it was CPU usage ....not pf usage ....

my CPU usage is 100% ............why i dont knew .....
Ahh, yes CPU Usage at 100 is bad :)
In Task Manager then, go to the Processes tab.
If you click in CPU, it will sort the processes in order of which have the highest CPU usage.
You should then be able to see which processes are hogging the CPU and we can hopefully help you fix it.
welll how may i knew this ?? .................is there any specific thing which might not run in the processes tab ??
