finally up, but deathly slow. svchost.exe is consuming most resources

Any ideas?



Jim, I just saw your email, 9 hours after you sent it.  Can't remember if it
was the M$ update or something else I was installing/deinstalling, but I had
to do a hard reboot this weekend.  Afterwards, though, everything was fine.
Of course, with 1.5gb of RAM, there might have been some heavy
svchost.exework going on and I wouldn't have noticed it.

Are you still affected?
