*scratch head*

I found a number slowdown issues related to csrss.exe on google groups; few with the '400 involved... This was one of the few with a 'resolution' (such as it is). If this isn't a laptop, do you have bios setting differences, perhaps power management?

More on the [link\|http://groups.google.com/groups?q=csrss.exe+fix&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&selm=%23LEkgOoE%23GA.146%40uppssnewspub04.moswest.msn.net&rnum=4\|NT problem]... This one says "The problem is a result of the user running a 16bit app and then disconnecting instead of logging off. To work around the problem you can use the kill.exe from the NT4.0 resource kit to kill the csrss.exe process. this DOES NOT kill it but does keep it from using 100% of one cpu" Hmm. 16 bit app. Are you sure that the same version of CA (or whatever you are using) on both machines? Hope I'm not barking up the wrong tree, here...

Thank you very much for looking this up for me - I've got my hands full at the moment, but the KB article about "polling video memory" looks like it might be the nub of the problem. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to this for a few days. I'll continue looking on my own. Thank you!
