Thanks!.....however Servicepack 4 was installed and did not solve the problem..........

The file 'Services.exe' has been executing at intervals of less than 30 mins for some time on my PC. While it is executing it is using 98%+ of the CPU capacity. causing all other programmes to come to a virtual halt. Can anyone explain why this is happening?. It is very frustrating to have to wait for 5-10 mins each time it executes. This is a recent phenomenon and may be caused by the addition of new software etc. I have tried shutting it down but cannot do so because it is a 'critical' process.
