My son who is away at college is getting the following
message;

Svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error
log is being created.

He can not access the schools intranet for required work
and readings.

A quick response would be appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Alan, is that the complete message? Nothing else on the screen or in Event
Viewer? If this is all of the info that he can garner from the situation,
have him seek local assistance with this. Svchost.exe errors as very
generic as this file host so many processes within the XP environment.
Having the system on hand to observe its exact behavior would make
troubleshooting possible.

If the error only occurs when he connects to the school's intranet, the fix
is likely to be a detail specific to the school's intranet. The computer
department may offer services to correctly sort a network problem of this
type.

If your son is able to give you more details than what you've related so
far, post again. Someone may recognize the error condition and offer a
suggestion.
