Thanks Doug...that's great!!

One problem though...how do I see which processes are running "under System".  I don't see that info in Task Manager (or I'm not looking in the right place).

TIA

Cheers

  A place to start:

  Start looking for 16 bit versions of applications that are running.  Such as A/V
  scanners, software firewalls, etc.    Most running processes are running under a
  system account, so it is time consuming to isolate the offending application.

  Next try disabling processes running under "system"  one at a time with the CPU
  monitor running and observe which one(s) make a big difference.  Sometimes a
  re-install of that particular application will do the trick, but most will
  require upgrading to a 32 bit version of the process.

  In my case, I had to update the F-PROT scan engine to a 32 bit version and that
  solved the runaway issue.

  Good luck!

    Hey All,

    We applied the latest round or about 5 security updates to our Win2K
    Advanced Server yesterday and then all hell broke loose.

    It now takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the desktop, then another 15 or
    so before SQL Server and a few other services get running....CF service
    never started in that time so I went in and set it to a manual start (trying
    to free up resources).

    Basically, the "System" process (not System Idle Process) is taking up all
    the CPU time...occasionally letting go for a few seconds.

    Being that the system moves SO slow it's tough to check things to try and
    diagnose...so I'm here asking for help ;-)

    Any..and I do mean ANY advice would be great

    TIA

    Cheers
