    Can't seem to find the root cause for this problem. It causes random stalling problems with Firefox (latest stable version), print spooler, Weatherpulse, and diskeeper lite.

    Has anyone else run into this of late?

    Computer specs listed on the left side.

    Edit: I updated the LAN driver yesterday, but still no change.

    Hello,

    Download Process Explorer from SysInternals then you can find which program under svchost.exe is taking up the Memory.

    Hope this helps !

    Yes, I have been working on that, but the info seems a bit encrypted so far.

    I'm having trouble with the dds tool.

    It is being treated as an AutoCAD Script, and the text log is encrypted.
