Winkszg.exe

[Guest]

I just installed Windows 2000 Pro on my Toshiba Tecra 8100 laptop. There is a file in the system32 dir. called Winkszg.exe that runs on my CPU all the time (99%), causing my system to lag considerably (it's an auto service). I don't know what this file is. I can disable that service, but I'd rather not since I don't know it's importance

thank you
