Hi all.

I got this issue last week and I just research something about it. I
hope you mind with me. English is not my mother tong.

Description:
When I close my laptop (dell inspiron1721, 2GB, vista home premium sp1
uptodate, plenty of disk) there is no problem at all.

When I open the laptop again, svchost takes over the cpu and almost
nothing can be done. I was able to locate the task and shows the
following process running: (this is a screenshot today not when the
problem was, but is the same info)

Clicking on properties I found ntdll.dll tha process using the cpu. (in
windows/system32 dated 19/1/2008)

The issue follows:

If I try to restart the laptop I cannot. The process doesn't allow. I
can go as far as the "login out" screen and nothing more. The only way
is to power off, but when I want to power on the laptop again, after the
password is entered the same process starts again and the bott is not
completed. (yesterday I waited for 30 minutes in this restart and
nothing)

The only way to regain control of the machine is to start sysinternals
process explorer as administrator and kill the svchost. Now I can
shutdown, restart etc.

I understand something is confilcting here but I like some advice in
order to prevent a new install (I just did that back in December)

Any idea is very welcome and of course really appreciated,

Regards,
