Scott, 

I actually also has some problems with tecad_nv6k.  It
was using up about 100% of the processor at all time,
I played around with it for a month before I decided
to just backup the usr\ov\databases \conf directories,
uninstall, reinstall, and restore the old db and conf
files.  It seems to have fixed the problem for me.  

It wasn't a consistent problem for me, it can works
for weeks once it actually loads correctly, but once I
shut it done and bring it backup, it would not come up
all the time.  Because the box was not complete in my
control, server support people may have install
patches, new service pack, etc.  I thought some .DLL
might have gotten registered incorrectly in NT, which
troubleshooting is like looking for a needle in a
haystack.

If you have the luxury to taking the box down for a
half day, backup, Uninstall and reinstall (not just
reinstall).  It should just fix the problem.
