Question: what is the file DLLHOST.EXE for?
Basis: I reinstalled win2000pro (cleanboot, service pak 3); Ultraedit, ACDsee,
Agent, Opera a starting setup I've used for ages.
This time I noticed taskmanger>processes>DLLHOST.exe was loaded. I've never seen
this program loaded before, but no big deal.
I use a dialup to call out, nobody else has access here. While online I noticed
I was sending out more than I was receiving. This was even after multiple
reboots and/or disconnect/reconnects, 64 megs sent out at one point. I don't
allow file/printer sharing so I just lived with it for a day.
I multi-boot into 2000pro and have 98se and XP that I can work with. there is no
problem with the other two systems. both show normal send/receive bytes when
connected. and MSinfo32 doesn't show DLLHOST.exe loaded even though all systems
show the file available to them (in their path directories).
So I renamed the file, booted into 2000 and my send/receive rates are normal.
but Opera now crashes, as does the ras, me thinks it misses the file.
I looked at the DLLHOST.exe file and it does function with the com ports in some
manner.
Anybody know anything about this DLLHOST file or how to stop my output problem,
I don't have a program to view a tcp/ip packet so have no clue what I'm sending
out, I figure maybe I'm pinging the living heck out of someone.
Thanks
