Re: Any ideas as to WTF is going on?
Check if you have any copies of svchost.exe in folders other than %SystemRoot%\\System32 (where it should be). If there are, you may have a virus (a couple of viruses use fake svchost.exe files).
If not, you might be able to use info from here [link|http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056|http://support.micro....com/?kbid=314056] to narrow down which service is hogging the CPU.
There is a list of services here for Windows 2000: [link|http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/management/w2kservices.asp|http://www.microsoft...t/w2kservices.asp]
I'd imagine most of them are valid under XP.

Thanx...BTW I'm running W2Ksp2
which is the last version of Windows that I'll ever run so long as BillG(e) continues to integrate his own virus into the OS-surrogate.
Phone home THIS....

I've got tons of systems on SP4 with no home-phoning.
2 or 3 hundred users who have to rely on dialup occasionally/constantly. It's benign. Get it. Just make sure you get the network install and you're good to go. I can burn you a copy if you need one. Getting all the post-SP4 security updates is another matter entirely as they occur monthly. You need them anyway.

OK, Now I'm confused...
Both you and Another Scott say I should get the "Network Install" version. Not being familiar with Micros~1's latest Redefinition of Standard Words rosetta stone, I assume that the Network Install version is a small app that Downloads a buttload of DLLs and other detritus which is installed serially from places on the net.
If this is true, then 1) how is this more secure, and 2) how can you burn me a copy?
If it's not true, then what exactly is the Network Install version, and how would it differ from the version I would normally download from the microsoft.com?

Sigh.
The "network install" version is the exact opposite of what you describe; it's a huge file containing all the updated stuff.
It's for deploying across a corporate network. Hence the name. Hence why Silverlock will be able to sling you a copy on CD.

What he said.
'Network install' as in - get the file from MS, stuff it on your network somewhere, tell users where to find it or send them the network link, and run the install entirely from within your network.

Yerah, but read for *contex*t, and you'll hafta admit...
...that his "I assume..." -- especially as it was followed by "Is that so?", or words to that effect! -- *was* more of a question than an *actual* ass-u-me assumption.
Also, inquiring minds are dying to know, what the fuck were you doing with that handbag?

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

I know, I know...
I do believe that running Windows is its own reward at times (I do it too - Doom 3 demands it!) and I couldn't resist the opportunity to tweak Burnsy's nose.
And the handbag? You'll have to haul arse to Philly next year to discover. I'll be there. Will you?
