Similar problem to what I have found in these topics, but the various
solutions offered and my limited understanding of services etc have prevented
me from fixing it. Specifically, running XP HOME SP 2, when a certain user
logs on, machine very slow, cpu usage 100% by svchost.exe, and it is utilzing
at least half of the installed RAM. Interestingly enough, it appears to be
user specific if that is possible. Checks clean for viruses and spyware.
If anyone has any suggestions or can point me to a useful KB article that
can clear this up, would appreciate it. Machine almost useless. Desire
start to complete and have machine available for use, vice using 100 percent
of CPU to run svchost.exe.
Thanks very much.
