svchost problem, can't see tasklist to find PID
« on: March 06, 2007, 05:51:42 AM »
My CPU is running at 100% all of the time as a result of svchost.exe.  I'm trying to find out what processes are running and which is causing the problem.  I'm running XP Home Edition, so I've downloaded tasklist.exe, however, when I run it the screen flashes up for a second and then disappears.  

I'm not sure exactly what my next step is once I have the PID, but that will be my next problem in finding the culprit that's bogging down my computer.

I'm pretty confident that my computer is virus-free as it's scanned regularly.  Any suggestions on how I can see the tasklist and what to do next?

lakeswimmer,

A program you may want to look into called Process Scanner.

I have it posted here:

I hope you find it useful.  It has been for me.

Look forward to your comments about it...
