I have a laptop that's Pegging at 100% (well 99% anyway) CPU usage on TCPsvcs.exe. I read that this is used for Printing. I've done some scans on the laptop and I'm not finding any spyware/adware that would be causing this. Anyone have any ideas?

Update your virus program and run it. There a virus that could cause this problem.

Symantec Page this is the link to information on the virus.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll look at that right now and let ya know what happened.

Your welcome hope it helps.

No Virus!!!
But I solved the problem!
Well... after further reading on the Service I noticed it's also related to DHCP.

Then I looked in the network settings and decided to remove File and Printer Sharing. Didn't fix it

So I decided to rebuild the IP stack. After rebuilding the IP Stack I restarted the PC and the problem was still there. I looked at Network Properties again and noticed that the new IP stack added TCP/IP Version 6 yet the old TCP/IP was still there. I tried modifying Ver 6 for DNS and WINS info and there was no way to modify it. So... I decided to just add the DNS/WINS info in the old TCP/IP. *restarted* once again.. Didn't fix it

Finally I decided to just delete Version 6 TCP/IP *restarted* and it worked!!
Network was the issue all along. Rebuild IP stack or network all together. My guess is either will work.

I'm happy to hear that you got your problem solved. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to explain what you did to fix the problem. This should help other in the future that may have this same problem.

Windows has allways had problems on this side of things, even SP2 has a IP addressing problem, how ingenious!!

crappy windows, throw it out the window, then run downstairs and catch it, the most fun you can have with clothes on!!

Thank You * 10^10,000

I have been trying to run down this error on my Dell Laptop for at least two months. I have worn out my welcome at Google as a result
. The Dell and MS websites were useless - and the Dell help desk as well it can go to __ll.

Your site was the only one (that I saw) where the enquirer had the courtesy to come back with an affirmative solution. BTW it worked for me as well.

Congratulations to all and thanks you JAMM et all!

Thank you ALL! WOW - 100 bucks with Dell and NO HELP, Call to SONY - No Help - You Guys?

PRICELESS!!!

Thanks for posting your solution to this problem Jammm.

I have been trying to resolve this for weeks, and finding the proper solution is better than hitting 'End Process' in Task Manager!
