SVCHost problem

I tried that, but no changes. I learned that if I terminate the process, it
stops. However, I then get kicked off the internet, and my sound stops.
Anyone have any other suggestions? What could be causing the problem? Thanks
for your help!

A few minutes after firing up my computer, the system slows down
incredibly, and every program running begins to freeze. During
this time, I'll bring up the Task Manager, and look at the
processes running. On the top, SVCHOST.exe (one of a couple
running), will be flucuating between 60,000K and 120,000K Mem
Usage, and my CPU usage will be maxed out. It seems to happen
when I connect to the internet, and I can't figure out how to
stop it. Can anyone help?

- Grab the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and install it...
(Save it to your computer, close all open porgrams, run it from where you
saved it.)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

- Reboot

- Grab and install WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe.
(Save it to your computer, close all open porgrams, run it from where you
saved it.)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891

- Reboot

You likely have plain old Windows XP - 32 bit... not x64.
 
Thanks for the help. Unfortunatly, I did as you said, and the problem still
persists. Any other advice would be very much appriciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I have tried this too and still have the SVCHost.exe taking 99% of the CPU.
I have been fighting this for about a month. If I use Task Manager to end
this particular SVCHost.exe, the problem is eliminated but this also takes
out other functions such as sound. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Regards,

Mark

Full virus scan followed by:

Get Dial-a-Fix...
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix Windows Installer, fix Windows Update, and all the
Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Then click "GO"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Reboot and see if that helped...
 
Hello again,

I did this and dial a fix makes it to the SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography section and
then the progrram hangs up when registering the initpki.dll. I tried it
several times, turned of virus protection, ect. Funny, even though it did not
finish and I had to end program from Task Manager (it states here it is
unresponsive), I am no longer tied up by the SVCHost.exe taking up 99% cpu,
everything seems to be normal including my System idle Processes.

I wouldn't say "it's fixed" just yet...

Do this while you're "okay"...

1) Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right
after a reboot/logging in...)

2) Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

3) Reboot.

4) Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for and install
critical updates (if you don't have IE7 - it's not *actually* critical - so
it can be unchecked if you wish.)

Come back - let us know...
 
I tried what was suggested, first Windows Update v3 existed, so it did not
load, 927891 patch did go and the last was critiacl updates, I had one for
Frame that would not load. Tried running Dial-a-Fix and same thing, hangs on
the regerstating initpki.dll.

Thanks
 
Hi Mark - Try running Dial-a-Fix from Safe Mode. This has been reported to
fix similar install issues when Dial-a-Fix has failed in normal mode as you
are experiencing.
