long time reader first time poster.

anyway ive got a win2k machine and its acting really weird. First CPU usage was at 100% due to a svchost.exe. couldnt disable it so i traced it back to be a RPC problem (blaster maybe?). anyway now that i got it fixed it now spikes every once 10 seconds or so to about 50% usage and when it spikes it closes any programs i have open.

funny thing is tho is that it only closes some things. like taskmanager and IE arnt affected but other things like regedit and AVG are so i cant finish a virus scan.

Anyway im total stuck now, i cant install anything, i cant access msconfig, i cant run a virus scanner. svchos1.exe is still in under processes and it uses 0% except every 10 seconds or so to 50% and closes any programs running. also theres no error msgs just poof and its gone.

any ideas? if i cant fix it i guess ill have to format :( its not my machine tho so id like to be able to fix it

thanks in advance

Try doing a Repair(if you made an emergrncy disk). This would put you back to your original settings. Boot from the installation CD to start the process.
