wintop

Is there a replacement/equivalent for the old 'wintop' utility that was part of kernal toys, which I found so useful in W98? I can find no equivalent for w2k/xp.

 

check out this Section on the site. I dont know what software you were using but tweakXP has some good stuff in it.

 

Well, wintop from the kernal toys kit from MS was the one that did it for me.
UNfortunately, it stooped working with W98.

I checked out tweakXP, nothing that seems from tthe descriptions to replace what I had. Thanks for the ptr, though.

What I REALLY need to do is find out why a process called svchost occasionally/reliably starts sucking up al the CPU cycles.
I'll just be reading news and checking mail, and all of a sudden the system will slow to the point that you can watch individual scan lines being drawn on the screen (this is on a Barton/2600).
In addition, the system will occasionally generate a po-up screen that says svchost has caused an error and must be restarted.
BTW, this is with w2k/p and the error occurs typically while using firefox 0.92 and eudora 6.1.2, all under earthlink.
