Multiple Processes

[davidgsmith]

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for looking at this.

Win XP Pro, SP3, all updates installed.

In the Task Manager under the 'Processes' tab I have 9 instances of svchost.exe showing. Is that normal?

Thanks for your answers,
Dave

I usually have 5 or 6. Some folks have more others less.
