HelpSvc takes up 95% of CPU usage. It seems to do it at its own will. Just
started the past week or so.

I found a KB for this problem @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933993, but
it says it applies to Windows Server 2003. Will this also work for XP?

The only ref I found for this with XP was to install the latest SP. I have
all the updates.

Thanks in advance for your solution.
 
Thank you. I was set to Automatic. Didn't know if there would be any
repercussions by changing the settings.

Thanks again.
 
YW & thanks for the feedback.
