Brand new HDD, new Mother board (FIC VC-15) new processor (P4-2Ghz) freshly
loaded, never been on the net. The process called "csrss.exe" jumps around,
up to 100% of the cpu and everything bogs down to a stop until some cpu
becomes available again. It is rather constant from boot up or reboot.
Are there any settings in Windows 2000 that will give me a chance to
reduce the time csrss.exe uses the cpu?
I need help on this one..........Thanks

CSRSS = Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem
It is the Windows Client Server Runtime Subsystem that handles Windows
and Graphics Functions for all Subsystems.

You would expect it to be busy during any sort of screen painting. It
is also possible it contains an idle loop, so that it appears to soak
up more CPU time than it really does. Try running something else at
the same time and see if CSRSS still soaks up all that cpu time.
