For the last couple of weeks, the following message
started to appear while I'm connected to the
internet: "svchost.exe has generated errors and will be
closed by windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created". This message has appeared
so far when I'm ONLY connected. By the way, I’m using
Internet Explorer 5.0. Sometimes it will appear within 5
minutes of connecting onto the internet AND sometimes it
may appear after 30 minutes of connecting onto the
internet AND sometimes the message will not appear at
all….it varies. I am using Windows 2000. I have not
loaded any new programs either. I've had this EXACT
system for a couple of years now. The ONLY troubles that
I encounter AFTER the svchost.exe error appears is that
when I try to open Excel 2000, Word 2000, etc the
following message appears, "cannot use object linking and
embedding" and then the Excel or Word program will close
automatically. Sometimes if Excel or Word doesn’t shut
down automatically then the troubles I have is the
inability to "copy and paste". The other problem I
encounter AFTER the svchost.exe error is that I'm unable
to upload pictures on eBay and do other minor tasks such
as clicking on links. All in all, I truly believe that
the "Excel, Word, eBay" problems are due to the
svchost.exe error after connecting onto the internet
because all my programs work perfectly fine when I’m not
connected to the internet. I have conducted a "search" on
support.microsoft.com for articles related to "svchost.exe
errors" but there are a lot to choose from and I need
SPECIFIC/DETAILED assistance/directions on what to do to
fix the problem. Please feel free to ask me any questions
to assist you in helping me. Thank you in advance. Jay
