After SP2 wauclt.exe takes up 100% cpu

[Lex]

Hi has anyone had this?
After SP2 install, the wauclt.exe process (Automatic Updates) takes up
100% CPU-time, the system slows down to an unusable speed and if I kill
the process it just starts up again.
I can disable it with msconfig (services), but then the WindowsUpdate site
doesn't work.
If I leave it 'running' and use windowsupdate (which takes an hour or
something because of the high cpu load), the windowsupdate applet thingy
crashes with an unknown error. So something is very wrong here...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

PS. System:
AMD Athlon64 3200+
MSI K8T neo
1GB RAM (TwinMOS)
vga: ATi RADEON 9800
