Re: CPU usage 100% on startup XP Home

Hi Grace,

There have been a lot of problems regarding svchost and CPU usage incredibly
high,

In my particular machine it manifested itself in slowww web pages being
loaded, or downloads not at all (IE6). OE6 also rediculously slow too.

I Have been using Mike Burgess's custom HOST file for years, but had for got
to disable "DNs Client" in Services. All is back to normal now.Thid
"problem only occurs with XP/2000/ and Vista OS's. It is explained at his
site:

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm#Note

I realize this is not a cure-all for those of you *not* running a cusomt
HOST file, but it may be worth looking into. It certainlty cured my
problem,
and things are again normal.

Just an FYI friends,
