New out of the box install on an Everex 3502. All went smooth, setup vista,
a linksys router and office 2003. moved data from a san disk cruzer. worked
well for half a day, then the enter computer ground to halt. VERY slow.
things would open & close, but it took 15 min. to open one email. task mgr
shows cpu spiked @ 100% utilization. was able to shut down, boot to safe
mode a few dozen times and start disabling/enabling services until I found
the one causing the slowness.; the plug & play service. through the same
set of steps, I did confiirm disabling the PNP service resolves the problem
(the computer is able to boot, logon and start without problems or slowness);
however, because multiple other services are dependent on the PNP service
thinks like the audio, printer an USB ports do not work.
A few questions;
Is there any way to remove/reinstall the PNP service alone?
Could the SAND Disk Cruzer flash drive caused a problem (corrupting the PNP
or other servce?). When the SAN disk was inserted, on driver did not
install, but the disk worked. This is a U3 disk . I'm not real familiar
with the U# standard, but did remember some boot problems with some computers
after a SAN disk was used.
