BOINC Manager can't connect and svchost

I have had this problem for some time now. World Community Grid - BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a World Community Grid client. Win this happens I also see the svchost in task manager is at 99% CPU. I can live with the BOINC manager not able to connect but not with the svchost using all of my CPU time.

Re: BOINC Manager can't connect and svchost

Do you have your system up to date with all MS patches and Service Packs?

There are many reasons for svchost to use 100% of the CPU, try google something like "svchost high cpu usage" and you'll find a lot of information.

Re: BOINC Manager can't connect and svchost

My BOINC version is 6.2.28. I have Windows XP with all security patches. Antivirus and anti spyware is update.
Is there anything in BOINC that would cause the svchost to go to 99%?
Why does BOINC some times have problems connecting to the client?

Thank you for your help.

Re: BOINC Manager can't connect and svchost

Do you have by any chance a rather large "hosts" file? (usually located on C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc). I had a problem with svchost once because of this.

Other than that, I suggest the google search I told you about and follow some of the instructions on how to identify and fix svchost problems.
