SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000, Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator (COMTI) components may cause 100 percent CPU usage by the Microsoft COM+ application package that houses the components if object pooling is enabled. When 100 percent CPU usage occurs, you must shut down the COM+ application package to recover.



CAUSE
This intermittent problem may be caused by a timing issue in the COMTI runtime.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, shut down and then restart the COM+ application package. To do this:
 * 1) Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel
 * 2) Double-click Administrative Tools.
 * 3) Double-click Component Services.
 * 4) In the left pane, expand Component Services, expand Computers, and then expand My Computer.
 * 5) Expand COM+ Applications.
 * 6) Right-click the application to be shutdown, and then click Shut down.
 * 7) After you shut down the application, right-click the application, and then click Start.
 * 8) Close the Component Services snap-in.
