Any ideas why svchost.exe was consuming 100% of CPU? That would be the
problem I would want to solve first. Searching the KB on this yields 25 hits
<http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?InCC_hdn=True&Catalog=LCID
%3D1033%26CDID%3DEN-US-KB%26PRODLISTSRC%3DON&Product=&KeywordType=ALL&Titles
=false&numDays=&maxResults=25&Queryl=svchost.exe+cpu&Query=svchost.exe+cpu&Q
uerySource=gsfxSearchRt_Query&srchExtraQry=Windows+2000>.

The two I like most are Performance May Be Slow on Computer Running Windows
2000 Professional and WinGate
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;285042>, and
Services.exe process uses 100 percent of the CPU utilization when a
dependent service exits prematurely on a Windows 2000-based computer
