Wow, never seen that before. It sounds like something got really [soapbox] up.

:wtf: Wow. I've never heard of any of those "side-effects."

Not sure if this will help or not, sysinternals processexplorer (sysinternals.com) allows for showing among other things the commandline of the process that's running... goes a long way toward figuring out rogue svchost processes that seem to suck resources. Good Luck!

I have no idea about your problem, but in the last days I'm seeing loads of weird things happening to computers (including mine). :-D Probably the first heat of summer is melting them down. :~

Oh yea, I also installed the last Windows Media Player.

Well shoot! there's your mistake. Now you have advanced DRM. Only a reformat will work.

Seriously, I have had all of the above EXCEPT the media player for some time on XP Sp2. No problems whatsoever. WMP is evil.

I don't know some of the problems were there before the install WMP.

I think I need the Chuck Norris add-in for my computer to straighten it out.;)

Chuck Norris doesn't repair computers, he stares at them until they work properly. :-D

Chuck Norris programs in .NET10.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Actually, Chuck Norris does not write programs. He roundhouse kicks his computer until it satifies his demands.

I'd love to see the algorithm for the 'shuffle' function. I have over 200 songs on my work laptop and it constantly picks about about 10 of those.

It turns out that the svchost, sound devices and rendering are related to a MS Update recently released. I restarted the machine and then using an app. called ProcessExplorer.com, I found the wsus.exe was in the pot as a problem. So, then I at the command prompt typed 'tasklist /svc' and inspected the locked up process included every service that I was having issues with. So, it looks like the problems with the .NET 3.0 installation were actual caused by something else. Tomorrow after installing all patches and fixes, I will try the .NET 3.0 again.

You're right. I noticed every comment that is anti-Microsoft or pro-Microsoft competitor gets low ratings. :-D

You mean a automatic windows update, or one of the udpates as a result of installing all that? BTW I recently installed Orcas Web developer express, and Windows SDK... just been dipping my toe in the world of WCF and Linq (finally!).. pretty exciting stuff!

Okay, I am starting over today what process or order do you follow in your installs. What did you install first, second...Thanks

Orcas web dev first. I had .NET 2.0 already. Then windows SDK. That's it.
