I have a Roku Soundbridge (http://www.rokulabs.com/products/soundbridge/models.php), which works wonderfully, but last night something very strange happened. There's a piece of software, called Windows Media Connect, that you install on the desktop computer that contains the audio files you want the device to access. I haven't had any problems with it until now, but last night the host computer (which also doubles as my MCE PVR) began to, well, freak out. CPU usage was between 80% and 99%, the hard drive was thrashing constantly, and it kept at this for several hours - all the resources were being used by the Windows Media Connect process. I tried a reboot, but upon logging in the process started again. During this process the Roku couldn't log into the computer to get the music, and eventually my computer coughed up this error message:

It was all rather peculiar. I left it alone and the next morning everything seemed to be ok. 8O Has anyone else with a Windows Media Connect device experienced this?
UPDATE: This morning it was chewing up my resources again (http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/mswmccd-goes-crazy.png), although it only lasted for a few hours this time. I wonder what's going on?
