Heres and overview of my situation. Business running 5 PC's, 1 is the server. Every now and again the whole network slows down super slow, then after a few minutes goes back to normal... sometimes PC's lose connection to the Server all togeather then a few minutes later works fine.
Server motherboard went down a couple weeks ago and I replaced it with a new Gigbyte board with 4gig of RAM, I could not format and start from scratch, I had to just update the drivers and everything because I do not have the Install file for the POS Program we use.
I also thought maybe it was the network cables or the Switch, so I replaced all the network cables and got a Gigbyte switch... all PC's are running at 1 gig network speed.
Now the only thing i can think of is maybe the server is having issues, so here is a list of the processes and what I have found on them:
------------------
searchprotocolhost.exe “Microsoft Windows desktop search process”, I do not use Windows Search functions so I can remove this?

----------------------
Could something here be causeing this?
I was also thinking of using "PC Tune-up" to clean up the registry... not sure if that will do anything or even if that program is any good?
Or what else can I do?
Thanks all for the help!
