MSN IM causes 100% cpu usage
Running W2K with all the latest patches, Loaded MSN IM 7.0 with no errors. As soon as I sign in there is a lot of activity between CSrSS.exe and SMC.exe which starts at about 45% CPU usage and climbs over the next 10 seconds to 100% cpu usage. Then everything bogs down. Until I try to sign-in to MSN IM the computer seems to work fine and the usage will fluctuate but is usually around 6-12% when idle. Anybody heard of this problem before?
