[cvsnt] Re: cvslock.exe at 100% CPU?

[kdea at alpine-la.com]

Hello All,

I've watched the machine more carefully, and I was mistaken, there are not
any multiple instances of cvslock.exe.  Only one.  But when I have
engineers complaining to me about slow transfers, cvslock.exe is running
100% of the CPU.

I have tried reinstalling the Norton Antivirus on the machine.  Later, I
completely removed the AV software.  But I still got complaints about the
slow transfers.

Any other clues at what I can look at?

cvsnt 2.0.38
win2k 2000 professional with service pack 4

There should only ever be one instance of cvslock.exe, and that's started
by
the OS on boot - find out what's starting multiple ones and you'll probably
be
well on the way to finding the problem I suspect.  As for the CPU usage
I've
never encountered this & suspect AV/Firewall interference somewhere (but
can't
prove it).
