My user has a dual processor system running Win2K pro. Services.exe keeps using 50-100% processor power after he uninstalled a program. in task manager, nothing is using power but services.exe. Services.exe is set to normal priority. Any way to see what services.exe is using considering that no program shows processor usage? System runs Slooooooow.

are any errores at the event viewer ?
if you have service pack 1 or 2 installed try
uninstall it and than to reinstall it.
i think it will fix it .
the other option is to reinstall the o.s (preform an "upgrade")
