RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails

Thanks, I might have to go there. We had a Win2K box today with SYSTEM using 100% of the CPU. I tracked the problem to a single system thread (using Performance monitor Programs>Administrative Tools>Performance), but I have no idea how to tell what that thread is doing. Maybe I'll give sysinternals a try. (our sysadm wants to reapply an already applied service pack and reboot. Don't know if I'll get to more digging before that, but I'm sure the problem will resurface again later:)

Henry

SETTINGS When you are forced into using a toy operating system (read: unix bigot) like this you need to have tools that show you what the toy is doing to you. Kind of like stdout on a unix box. One of the greatest little utils I have found to open the win pandora's box is regmon and filemon. These help you find out what the system is choking on sometimes:

Hope it helps, it has for me at times.
