| 282325 | 2004-10-18 07:09:00 | On my new server running Windows 2000 Adv Server, svchost uses 99% or 100% CPU, causing the PC to run horribly slow and not serve properly. My website is down because of this, as is e-mail. I reckon installing SP4 might help, but I can't because of the problem (just stops at 'Collecting information' or something). I will be looking further into the problem shortly, I'll keep you posted. Cheers, George |

| 282326 | 2004-10-18 07:25:00 | Update: Looked at it with Process Explorer (by Sysinternals). Pausing the svchost responsible seems to fix it, but it seems required to launch programs. But just now I have reinstated it and it is going OK. I will use this opportunity to install SP4. Please help though, I need this server to be reliable. George |

| 282327 | 2004-10-18 08:08:00 | Installing SP4 was a failure, it just has errors! CPU's back on 100% but on and off. I can't install Exchange because it needs SP1 or above. Please help - I'm not getting important e-mails, nor is ANYONE using my mail server. |

| 282330 | 2004-10-18 08:34:00 | It's not spyware. I have only had Windows installed since 6:30PM today, and have a firewall. Also, it has been happening since the very first start of Windows. |

| 282331 | 2004-10-18 08:41:00 | Isn't this the scenario where you are meant to delete everything in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS or something folder? I can't remember the exact one, But I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong. |

| 282332 | 2004-10-18 08:47:00 | Theres nothing in there to delete . I'm going to post some log entries: grovel (892) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -1811 . grovel (892) Unable to write a shadowed header for file \\?\Volume{91d5742a-20c7-11d9-985a-806d6172696f}\SIS Common Store\database . mdb . Those two reoccur constantly in the Application Log . Nothing strange in the system log though . George |
