Sometimes when i boot my windows XP a network service wmiprvse.exe starts an uses 100% of CPU processing.
there is also a system service wmiprvse.exe running at the same time. If I stop the wmiprvse.exe network service in the task manager the system goes back to running correctly, but after a few reboots , it comes back using 100% CPU processing and I have to intervine again

Hi Ross, and welcome to the forum.
It is a legitimate Windows Process as long as it's in the right location, and you can have more than one instance running at the same time.
What is wmiprvse.exe:
I've seen a lot of instances of this process maxing out the CPU, but the first thing to try is have a looksee where yours resides.
