Ramus111 0 Posted October 26, 2002 I am consistently having a problem with SVCHOST.EXT using up extraordinary resources when I am playing a game (all types, ranging from 1st Person Shooters to Strategy games). I can "end the process" & continue playing normally for a while until it builds back up. System processor usage (from SVCHOST.EXE alone) ranges anywhere from 20% - 80%. Anyway, it is VERY annoying. I have searched through Microsoft’s website & found it to be of little help in my situation. If anyone else has had this problem in the past (and possibly solved it) please let me know. Thanks much.

Ali 0 Posted November 2, 2002 do you have too many SPYWARES on the system? are you connected to high-speed internet? do you have alocal network or use network devices (printer, router, etc.)? Use Ad-aware to scan for spywares. see if you can use a firewall software to track down all the network activities. please let us know!!! Share this post Link to post
