CSRSS.EXE and SP3

Hi,

I've had this same issue on two machines, one Win2k3 Server and a XP SP1
machine.

The problem is that after installing SP3 opening any SQL Gui tool (I think
it's only that as osql.exe don't cause this) including the SQL Service
Manager causes CSRSS.EXE to spike at 100% and basically render the machine
unusable. Closer inspection reveals that it's continually respawning
whichever application you opened.

I've seen this referenced [1] a while back but no real cause/solutions :
S

Any help would greatly appreciated as it's quite urgent that I get a working
SQL server.

Thanks in advance,

Armand

Just a quick update - osql.exe causes exactly the same effect.
