This process takes from 50 - 100 % of the CPU. This makes
loading software or anything nearly impossible. Major
effect on deploying XP.

What should I be looking for??
 
Doing a google search for this file returns a bunch of
info, and this is a memory leak. If you are using a Dell,
try uninstalling the Dell Support Agent. Also, make sure
you have all your updates from windowsupdate.com--Microsoft
says that Service Pack 1 fixes it per the link below, but
another user site said that the Dell Support Agent
continued to cause the problem after SP1.
