I am running XP Pro and I am having some trouble at boot up. I have
two things to ask about.
ONE
Task Manager shows that several copies of SVCHOST.EXE are running.
One copy of SVCHOST.EXE owned by user "NETWORK SERVICES" is taking up
50 or more percent of cpu. I often kill it and there seems to be no
adverse affect.
Should SVCHOST.EXE owned by NETWORK SERVICES be running at all?
TWO
I suspect that Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC.EXE) might
be launching the SVCHOST I mention above because Component Services
shows that it is the only service which is logged on as "Network
Service".
Do I need Distributed Transaction Coordinator if I am running a
standalone PC mainly for Net access? I run Word and Excel and stuff
like that.
