| Appologies for how off-topic this may be, I hope someone may have had experience with symptoms similar to this:I've got a 1Gb development laptop with IIS 5.0, SQL 2000. I run Outlook, Dreamweaver, Norton AV. Sometimes it'll run all day just fine.There are periods when an unidentifiable process will start to hog the CPU at periodic intervals of about 1 sec. When I'm editing text in any application (query analyzer, Outlook email, Dreamweaver) it's annoying side affect slow CPU performance which is very pronounced when I hold down a key to move the cursor: 8 characters, wait 1/2 sec8 characters, wait 1/2 sec8 characters, wait 1/2 secetc.Task monitor doesn't identify any process stealing the CPU and rebooting the PC always fixes the problem. Has anyone got a suggestion on either how to find the errant process?Sam |

| Might you be running Indexing Service by any chance? I know I had a similar performance quirk to yours and it turns out I had Indexing Service running. Once I shut it off the problem went away. It is EXTREMELY quirky about when it runs and how much load it puts on the CPU. |

| Although I did have Indexing Services running, stopping it has had no affect on this problem.Nuts. SamEdited by - SamC on 02/14/2003 00:05:49 |
