I did not know how to find which services were causing the problem but following your instructions I tracked it down to an HP printer service that should have been uninstalled when I got rid of my HP networked printer. The printer never did what I wanted and failed completely after two years of light use. Why am I not surprised it's still kicking me in the teeth even after it is dead? I'll never by another HP product again. Many thanks for this.

When I killed the correct svchost it just caused my computer to restart. Also my computer doesn't allow me to set it's prioritiy to anything else. I was able to determine that it wasn't a virus though. Anybody have any kind of help for this situation This page helped a bit in my understanding of what i’m dealing with but it didn’t help with my situation.

I found out that DcomLaunch is a servis that came with Service pack2. When i try to kill the process a window pops up that says there was an error and the computer will shut down in a minute. I aslo tried to install patch KB927891 and Windows Update 3.0. Nothing worked. Does anyone have an idea what could sort the problem out? Thank you very much in advance for any ideas Hi,

I ran ProcessExplorer and saw that the instance of svchost that was taking 50% of my CPU was indeed related to HP update service. Uninstalling the HP solution center indeed released my CPU.
