That 'bunch of processes' is exactly what you want to be looking at.
Click on the CPU %age column to order the list by how active the
processes are. Keep an eye on the list to see if a particular process
jumps to the top of the list ever 30 seconds or so.

Thanks Rick, but nothing going on there either and nothing shows in the Task
Manager, just a bunch of processes running. I guess I will have to try to
work the suggestions from Rob if I can figure it out. I even went in and
unticked everything in Startup tab and rebooted. Didn't help.

Does the offending process appear in Task Manager?
Try sorting by CPU %age, setting it to a high update frequency and seeing
what eats the CPU.
If nothing is apparent try downloading the free 'Process Explorer' as it
has a nice %CPU graph per process which is good for tracking down things
like this.

It just started. I have used every spyware program I have and cleaned out
every extra file and registry entry and run antivirus. I have taken off
useless programs and used all system tools and defragged. I put on no new
programs lately and I am on HiSpeed cable with XP Home. I don't know how
to
read the event viewer that well, actually not at all, so I don't know
what
to look for. Can anyone give guidance. This event is really slowing down
everything including browsing, loading files, opening programs.
Look in the Scheduled Tasks, if you haven't already, and see if there is an
entry there that is running every 30 seconds.
