MCE suddenly very slow, stuttering, CPU usage at 100%

I've got a two year old HP running MCE 2004... In the last week, it has
gone flaky.. No sound on recordings. Live TV is slow and stuttering,
and when I check Windows Task Manager ehrec.exe is around 70% and all
processes are maxed out at 100%.

I've run a virus scan, checked for spyware. The only thing that has
changed lately is the regular updates from Microsoft.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Douglas

If someone had told me the andyandrichie clips were recorded with Schoeps mics and vintage Neve preamps, I'd either have missed it entirely, thought I needed to re-evaluate my listening, or at best been amazed how much the H2 sounded like mega-expensive vintage gear. ...

If you've loaded a few H2 recordings into the same DAW, room, location, and monitors that you've used with other clips recorded on other gear, and keep making the same adjustments and corrections to the H2 tracks, you get a pretty good sense of its sound and voice. ...
