SYMPTOMS
When you start a Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional-based computer that is running Deerfield.com's WinGate program, you may notice poor speed performance. Task Manager shows that a Svchost.exe process is taking 99 percent of the CPU usage. When you analyze the .dll files running within that Svchost.exe, you find the Wglsp.dll file is among the list.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Wglsp.dll file can slow down performance in the Svchost.exe process.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, rename Wglsp.dll to Wglsp.old, and then restart the computer.



MORE INFORMATION
Wglsp.exe is the WinGate Winsock proxy client file. WinGate states that this version of the software is compatible with Windows 2000 Professional. However, the slow performance may be due to the Wglsp.dll file, and renaming the file may help.
