CPU utilization approaches 100% in Windows NT CPU utilization approaches 100% in Windows NT
Symptom:
In Performance Monitor, when monitoring the TAPISRV
process, CPU utilization approaches 100%.
Cause:
There are several Q-Articles on Microsoft's web site that
reference possible reasons for the CPU utilization to spike.
Solution:
Verify under Task Manager, Processes what process is really
spiking the CPU Utilization.
Make sure you are on the latest service pack for Windows
NT.
To correct this problem, go into Control Panel,
Network. Highlight the Digi adapter and select Properties. Change
the Close Timeout settings in the Ports Properties of the driver from its
default of 25msec to 0msec. Make this change for each port. Reboot
the system for this change to take effect.
Verify that there are no modems configured for RAS that are no longer connected
to the system or are powered off.
