have added a new user to my home pc, + set a password
onto my account. But when I log onto the new user
account, regsvr32 just eats up all the CPU cycles
endlessly (so far at least 30 mins). Logging onto my
account has no problem.

Should this be happening (i.e. does XP need to update the
whole registry for some reason) or not?? Rebooting
doesn't help any.

Cheers
 
regsvr32 is used to register/unregister dlls (sets reg values). If this
happens at logon, you might want to see if there are any logon scripts being
run, if there is something in the start->programs->startup menu, or if there
is something being run from the user's (or machine's if this happens with
any user) Run and RunOnce registry entries that could be calling regsvr32.
