Well that's... vague.

What are you doing while the CPU is at this level? What programs have you got running in the background? What are your system specs?

i want to play red orchestra and the cpu speed hit 100%
another pc in the house ( formatted the other day) is running at 4 %


also when i open firefox it hit 92/3 %

Your processor is a piece of crap. That's why it's maxing out.

nope
i got the solution i went into task manager and 1 task under all users was some apple thing looking for a ipod , when i disabled it it went from 60% to 2%
people listing . there your solution!!!

Bring up Task Manager, click on the "Processes" tab, click on the word "CPU" at the top of the CPU column - what are the processes using the CPU the most?
Can you post a screenshot. Normally System Idle should be between 85-95%..
