Tried that already. i can go to the thread and stop it manually. with an good process viewer, but its acomputer that i'm working on for someone else. all the updates are done. its like a memory leak or something i would just wipe it clean and use a sp 2 and disable all updates, but the techie in me is forcing me to try to solve the problem before i do that.
