Windows Search Lamp going berserk

Once upon a while my Internet Service Provider who i am very dissatisfied with "decides" to pull the plug on my internet connection for no reason whatsoever for a little while. So knowing that I have a HSDPA USB Modem laying around with a 3GB monthly dataplan i thought i could install its Hutchison 3G software on my Windows Server 2003 to have a backup internet connection at hand.

After some restarts the software still wouldn't recognize the Modem so I thought I could run it in Compatibility-Mode for Windows XP. This resulted in the program window not showing up at all while it would make the "explorer.exe" stop responding entirely. When I killed the "3DataManager.exe" however this happened:




So this Flashlight we all know from the XP-days seems to try to catch up on all the CPU cycles it missed while the Data Manager was open. It stopped pretty soon afterwards though as you can see.
