Out of the box install maxes out CPU on Windows

[pbkoob]

I have a straight out of the box install of Alfresco Enterprise 3.0 Full:
Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2
Oracle 10.2.0.4
2.27GHz Xeon on VMWare
3.0 GB RAM

The only configuration I have made is to point the server to Oracle instead of using Derby.

When I start Alfresco, it is running properly as far as I can tell, the Java process tomcat is running on sucks up all remaining CPU to max out my CPU utilization.  It was doing this before I hit it with a browser (that seems to be when others start experiencing trouble).  I read a past post about uninstalling printer and file sharing on windows, which I have done.

Any suggestions?

I got this problem fixed.  It turns out that I needed to install the Microsoft loopback adapter.  I guess alfresco (java.exe) tries to talk with itself using Remote Method Invocation (RMI) (a fact documented in several locations) and without the loopback adapter (my conjecture) it never answers and keeps spawning connection attempts, chewing kernel memory until it runs out.

Everyone I know, who has related experience, seems to think this is strange.  I am not sure why this is needed, I guess MS Windows 2003 SP2/VMWare does not have the Standard 127.0.0.1 or that is not what java is looking for.

Here are the instructions I used:
