Since I am out of lurk mode briefly, I have a question for the computer
literate among us.
OH, and I hate people who ask computer questions on MB lists, so just throw the
spear, it will be graciously accepted...
I have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop, running XP pro with half a gig of ram and a
40 gig hard drive. It works flawlessly most of the time.
I use it primarily for AutoCAD. When it first boots, ACAD is *painfully* slow.
For the experienced cad user, it is devistating. I have already made three or
four moves before the computer wakes up to the fact that I'm there. It takes
forever to catch up.
Looking at the task manager processes list, there is repeated many times the
program svchost.exe. It's used by the LOCAL SERVICE, SYSTEM, NETWORK SERVICE,
etc over and over. At this moment, there are 10 instances of this program
listed in the Processes list. The users are all of the three above listed
ones.
When the machine is pacing very slowly, I will open the task manager and find
that one of the svchost.exe users is occupying 99% of the CPU. I simply delete
it, the computer goes back to being a screaming demon cad machine and all is
well for the day. I notice no change in anything, no loss of any capabilities,
only marked speed increase. The issue appears only on bootup.
Anybody got a clue how I can elimminate whatever is causing this anmomly??
It's no issue to cure, but would be nice to not have to do.
Emails off list are fine, if you don't want to clobber the normal day to day
banter.
Thanks in advance
Richard
