Re: SVCHOST - how?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Completely wrong attitude 'If it ain't broke don't fix it'. Can't you make
it better? What about updates?
What about security? Know the difference between SP1 and SP3?

Answers to your Qs Gerrry:

1 SP1 always worked fine - and if it "ain't broke" I don't fix it. The
errors started some years after my purchase of XP, when AOL moved us all
to
AOL Dial Up Broadband six months ago. There's quite a bit in various fora
about this thing but no clear fix anywhere. Naturally AOL got kicked.

2. The Event viewer from today:

Faulting application , version 0.0.0.0, faulting module unknown, version
0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000.
There are also a couple of files usually, in a temp dir, but nothing
useful
in them.

3. Spyware - up to date McAfee virus checker and Firewall. They do find
things from time to time. No odd things happening except this one.

4. Startup type for Windows Audio is automatic.
-------------------
After the failure, one of the SVCHOST calls - the same one every time -
has reduced from 26 services to 10. It is always the same services
dropped
off.
My plan is to get past the bug, when these services are down to 10 - and
restart them one at a time to see if I can get to the conflict. An
important
point foir me is
that my work around keeps me going even though I'm running 16 services
light.
So far I've proved that Windows Audio can be restarted without further
breakdowns.

Any more opinions will be followed up. Thanks for your interest.
