svchost.exe application error xp sp3
Folks,
Another variation on the svchost.exe application error which appears to keep manifesting itself after certain Windows Updates. This time, I suspect with XP SP1. On startup I'm getting several warning messages that Generic Host Process Services has encountered a problem and needs to close along with the svchost.exe Application Error The instruction at "0x00df96bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written". Once I step through all of these, things settle down, and applications seem to function correctly, with the exception of Windows Explorer. When I display folders that contain photo image files as thumbnails, these start to display, but several do not, while others down the list do. I then get the same svchost.exe Application Error every time. No such problem with other applications that display thumbnail images like Roxio and HP Premier and the problem doesn't seem to occur in Explorer when displaying thumbnails for other Office documents that are not photo image files. I'm right up to date with all my Windows Updates and my history suggests that there have not been any update failures since an apparent successful install of SP3. Any suggestions (be nice now!) on how to resolve this error would be appreciated. -- Regards, kayarbe |

Sorry, I meant to say XP SP3 not SP1.

svchost.exe application error xp sp3
Gerry,
That was one of my first thoughts. In fact I have just replaced the original Dell Dimension 5100 1Gb RAM (2x512 modules) with 4Gb (4x1Gb) NECC Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz SDRAM. The problem persists, so I doubt that it is a physical memory issue. -- Regards, kayarbe "Gerry" wrote: Test your RAM. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...ardware_Tshoot -- Hope this helps.

svchost.exe application error xp sp3
Matter resolved in a somewhat convoluted way.
I received notification of several HP printer/software updates. HP Photosmart Premier wasn't experiencing the same display problems that Windows Explorer was with thumbnails, but I decided to install the updates anyway. On restart of the system, the svchost.exe Application Error message - The instruction at "0x00df96bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written" - has disappear. However, I was still received several Generic Host Process messages, but Windows Explorer displayed thumbnails correctly. This lead me to look into a number of other applications. I found that none of the applications within Roxio Easy Media Creator would launch. I ran a repair on this, but the problem persisted. So, I took the sledgehammer approach and uninstalled the application. Problem solved! No more Generic Host Process error messages on startup. I have yet to try to reinstall Roxio. -- Regards, kayarbe "kayarbe" wrote: Gerry, That was one of my first thoughts.

svchost.exe application error xp sp3
Hi, I recently got the following application error regarding the svchost.exe. The instruction at "0x7c80aeb3" referenced memory at "0x80040119" could not be read. After I pressed OK then the desktop started flashing every 5 seconds. How can I fix this error using the command prompt?

Does the error reoccur after you have restarted your computer?

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any more than 48 hours ago. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. -- Hope this helps. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ krepalis wrote: Yes it does.
