Re: svc host message error? what can i do?- official response!

Having to reboot up to 6 or 7 times [more than half an hour!] before i could
"use" my computer was good enough reason to follow Ronaldo's fix and i
certainly have no regret that my computer is working properly again. I will
only reinstall KB873333 after the "fix" is available.
