James,
You'll typically have more than one svchost.exe. Did you
use tlist -s to find out which svchost.exe is eating
memory (how to use tlist w/ svchost.exe is in the KB)?
Once you find out which one is eating your CPU (match the
PID in the list to the Task Manager's PID), tlist will
tell you services were started by the faulty svchost.exe.
I used those as hints for which Services to Stop in the
Services dialog (available through the Control Panel ->
Adminstrative Tools.
For me, I found that IPRIP was causing issues. But I
couldn't stop because some Advanced Networking stuff that
I had installed (like Print Services for UNIX) were
using. So I had to uninstall the Advanced Networking
stuff, then stop the RIP service, and voila, no more CPU
problems.
That said, I'm still not to the root problem...which I
think is something that is screwing up my TCP/IP stack.
If I try to renew my DHCP connection, I get strange
errors...but I'll leave my problems to another post...
-Mike

The svchost takes 63-77% of the CPU, system takes
whatevers left, nothing ever goes to idle process. I've
tried the other solutions in the knowledgebase including
editing the locations in the registry. I've also tried
closing all the services. No Luck. Have to boot into safe
mode to get into the registry. Any ideas?
