SVCHOST.exe --- Resources Gone... Please Help

Ramus111

I am consistently having a problem with SVCHOST. EXT using up extraordinary resources when I am playing a game (all types, ranging from 1st Person Shooters to Strategy games). I can end the process & continue playing normally for a while until it builds back up.

Roland RS-70 USB interface & WinXP SP2

Ruined

Just picked up a new Roland RS-70 synth for $685 on closeout. The USB driver for it, however, does not work with XP SP2. Here is the driver: It installs, detects fine, but if you go under midi properties within the driver it says the driver is enabled but not functioning properly.

NHL 2001 won't run in 1280x1024

ConQueso

NHL 2001 won't run in 1280x1024 (the menu won't display it, only up to 1024x768) when I'm using my ATI HDTV adaptor. NHL 2004 runs fine at this resolution using the adaptor, as does NHL 2001 without the adaptor on my normal monitor.

SS2 Mod links and successor--BioShock--news

ConQueso

For those that don't know, there likely will be no System Shock 3. More on that can be found. Fear not, though, SS2 will have a spiritual successor made by the same creators as SS2 (Irrational Games) called BioShock.

motionman04

I am running XP Pro SP2, whenever I try to run NFSU 2, windows gives me a termination error right before the game eve starts. I believe the problem is with DirectX 9. 0c, for some reason, when I try to install it, it says its already been installed even though the version I have is 9.
