Question : process "system" 100% cpu XP

I have tried most of the 'fixes' posted here in EE without success relating to this matter.I also ran a program pc optimize which found an invalid type lib which seems to be the culprit.However, after restart 'system' process (100% cpu) kicks back in after a little browsing.Pretty sure this has something to do with ActiveX control. Anyway to permenatently delete from registry? (tried another registry cleaner program/same results)

Answer : process "system" 100% cpu XP

I just resolved my issue by turning off automatic updates, reboot, then manually going to windows updates and installing the updates, turing on automatic updates, reboot.  

It seems that code has to do with some sort of Pentium program error detection.  I would assume that my machine failed to autoinstall an update and this error was the result...please try and I hope this helps you out.
