Ok a stack of the service didn't reveal anything. Here is a copy from the tasklist /SVC. AudioSrv, Browser, CryptSvc, ERSvc, EventSystem, FastUserSwitchingCompatibility helpsvc, lanmanserver, lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan, Schedule, seclogon, SENS, ShellHWDetection, srservice, TapiSrv, TermService, Themes, winmgmt The computer has been running for 26 hours, and this process has used 10:38:28 seconds of that in CPU time. So its definitely using the CPU when I am not, I do not know what is causing it but I should be able to get it taken care of with y'alls help. Ok after doing some checking and rechecking I stumbled upon the answer, I would like to say it was my brilliant deduction, but frankly I just happened to see this. Seems that my Sygate Personal Firewall is causing the problem. It has never done this before, and should not be doing it now. But it is. So has anyone heard of this happening with the latest version? Oh and the usage for the firewall is minimal if anything. svchost.exe (this instance) is currently using 18,408 K of memory. Guess I need to find a new firewall.

Will do, And I wil let you al know the outcome, I will eventually egt this SOB knocked out, ( I am betting it is a custom video driver I installed) but we will see.

Ok so I was sitting around one day reading a message board (take a guess which one) and I noticed my PC was a bit sluggish. SO I opened up the Task manger to see what was up. Well now svchost.exe was running 79 - 100 % CPU Usage constantly. So I started to look into it. Came across a couple of newb sites, people with no information there, so on I go to do my own thing, open up Process Explorer from Sysinternlas and lo and behold, there is one particular thread in this svchost.exe that is taking up everything. Well this one instance of svchost.exe is running my GUI, Audio, Lan, Internet connection, and many many other items, about 12 in total, SO I watched the thread for a few minutes and narrowed it down to one particular thread, killed that one thread with PE and moved on, upon each reboot I get this same problem. So full virus/spyware/malware/grayware/whateverware scan later I see no problems other then a couple of cookies. So now I ask the minds here at MSFN, what could this be that is causing all of this usage. I can easily kill the process upon each reboot, (once a week at the most, more like once a month) but still thats not normal to do, so any ideas of what this could be? Once again that process thread was "kernel32.dll!RegisterWaitForInputIdle+0x4a" There are about 15 of those threads running in this once instance of svchost.exe and I only have to kill the one causing the high usage to stop all of the sluggishness, PC runs like a champ and after a month i have seen no adverse effects, so if anyone has a clue, I would really appreciate it.

Could it be that your power supply is not powerfull enough. Freind of mine wnet and tried to put 8 sata drives in his pc with a 350 watt psu and couldnt figure out why it wouldnt boot. So what size psu do you have? Oh and prathapml your link no longer works.

I use bvrp fax software. Simple to use and works with distinctive ring.

site is no longer avialble.

If you scroll down on that link you posted they talk about how it is not possible yet. Thier only answer was to use a different archive client.

No definitive answer here but maybe check out the group policy editor. Might be able to restrict it that way.

Run into it once before on a gentlemans Dell.

Nic card gone awry?

So does anyone have a way of bringing those Icons that are lost back? Other then restarting the program that is?
