    services.exe

    Does anyone know if nimda exploits services.exe in Win2k? When perfoming normal usage of my system, Let's say browsing with three windows open and then I go to open audiogalaxy or realjukebox, one application will hang for like 20 seconds due to the fact that services.exe is using 99% of the CPU at that moment. Then all of a sudden it release it's grip on the CPU and all apps work fine. Does anyone know what may be causing this? I have performed a full system scan with norton 2002 and it found nothing. Any Ideas?

    System specs:
    900 Mhz Athlon T-bird
    384 megs ram Micron
    1 20 gig WD 7200 rpm
    1 30 gig WD 7200 rpm
    Geforce 2 mx 32 mb

    I do not know about the nimda issue but try this if you are on a network, in fact this helps even if you are not:

    Go into registry and perform the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace/D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF

    What it does is correct a problem where W2K Explorer will hang momentarily on access to any network resource. This may be causing your program problem, because the little red X should go away and be connected instantenously on mappings it showes up on when accessed.

    You can get more details about this here:

    Thanks for the reply. I will try this registry adjustment but the problem has nothing to do with accessing network resources. All of the applications are strictly local apps so therefore network access isn't needed.
