Troubleshooting a client's Dell Inspiron 8200 running XP Pro SP1 for unbearable slowness I found the Terminal Services service to be the culprit. As soon as the service was stopped, processor utilization dropped from 100% to normal (0%-5%) and the notebook has functioned properly. I have disable the service.
After many hours of research I've found no information to suggest a cause for this behaviour. What would cause this service to suddenly go rogue?

Thanks for the advice, but the machine is running well and that particular service isn't necessary. I'm much more concerned with why it happened and if anyone else has experienced this.
