Process Explorer helped me figure out that svchost was running an HP network device service for a network attached printer. That service was the problem. I disabled it and all is well.

Before it disappeared one instance of it alone was taking up about 40,000kb of my ram. Now that instance along with all other instances have completely disappeared. It gives me a lot more room in my ram(about 20% more), and seems to have no adverse effects. But I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the fact that they just disappeared. I have even tried to run the exe manually and when I click it, it does nothing. Does anybody here know what might have caused this process to simply disappear?

Did you get the idea from my site :P Maybe the next thing you'll write is about analyzing rundll32.exe I’ve already got an article on that. Did you get the idea from my site :P

The core of the problem is wbemcore.dll which seems to eat up tons of CPU time w/o any visible outcome. When I kill the whole svchost this library is using, it immediately frees my CPU. Though, it sucks pretty badly to have to manually or automaticly kill this process every time I run MSFS 2004 :( Haven't tried to totaly disable the WMI function, I guess it's not the best idea... :/ Man, I’ve been having some bad troubles with svchost.exe recently being used by Windows’ WMI for making some kinda repositories (I guess MSFS 2004 uses it in a certain way).
