Explorer should not take up 50 meg.
and running 41 proceses is nothing. im running 58 and it only takes up 350 meg. i run folding at home (like seti but folds proteins)
can you get to teh task manager screen and go to view then select columns. select PID, CPU usage, CPU time, Memory usage, page faults, user objects, virtual memory size. take another screen shot and post it, this may help diagnose what is wrong.
last ditch:
when was the last time you re installed your OS, i know its a pain but but if you re do your system every month or so, it saves you a lot of trouble.
