I've had my Vista x64 install going for about two months now and everything was fine up until last night. The last two programs I installed were Office XP and GRAW 2 SP Demo. I've uninstalled both programs too, but I'm still having the same problem. Right after I boot into Vista, the HDD starts thrashing. I opened up Process Monitor and it shows Svchost.exe scanning all my hard drives and only then is when it stops. It seems like when I stop the Superfetch service, it doesn't do this, but I don't want to disable Superfetch since it's very good at optimizing Vista. This just started last night, so it's got to be something I installed....the only programs I can think of have already been uninstalled....what gives? The HDD thrashing stops after a few minutes, but this is a big deal because it goes through and scans all my drives. As time goes on, this will only take longer and longer so this needs to stop now. I just don't know what could have caused it. Is there something in Office XP that would cause something in Vista to do this? I don't see how since Vista is much newer than Office XP is. Also, I've uninstalled Office XP, so I don't get it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry for the double post.
