I am running win2k.
I have two instances of scvhost.exe in my task manager processes. i remember that there used to be only one instance. but now there are two. is this normal? could it have been called up by another program? i have only Serverwatch start up with windows, and uninstalling it seems to have on effect on the second schost.exe running. any ideas on why it is there?
