a neighbor is having a SEVERE slowdown problem running his Win XP. I see
in the applications running, there is a small program 4702Kb: RNAPPP7.exe
which seems to start up on its own when he starts his computer. When this
runs, it ties uo 98-99% of the CPU time so nothing else can run. After some
time, it seems to stop running, then the computer will get Net access/Email
etc.

GOOGLE search and also here in the NG yields nothing useful.

Any ideas: WHAT this does & why it runs ?

BTW, it is located on his HD at:

C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\MicrosoftShared\pse7\r nappp7.exe

I'm running WIN XP on my laptop and I dont have a "pse7" folder nor a
'rnappp7.exe' program anywhere

It is a internet explore hijack, try booting the machine into safe mode
and running a virus scan, and while your at it download Ccleaner which
is a great toll for removing unwanted applications.
