TigerLily, Try to copy the taskmgr to your desktop if you can't open it normally ( CTRL-ALT-DEL ).
Then kill the process that's taking up all the resources (90+%). (That should give you a better performance and thus a faster PC. Then you can continue with the other steps mentioned in this thread.) When the process keeps starting itself up, find the process on your pc and replace/remove it. I had the luck i didn't have such a process but i did have the popupvirus. After replacing the inected files i didn't have the problem anymore.
Hope to be of some help.

Thanks darlin. I followed your instructions and there were no processes taking up that much resources. I already uninstalled limewire and java and all their files and everything seems fine now; except for the missing files I already mentioned. Havent had time to play with that yet though. I am afaid to re-install LW and of having the same problem again. Its really trying my patience, lol.
