Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / November 2004Problems with SCVHOST.COM
I am having problems with an Asus computer that is running Windows 2000 Pro. At random times, it goes to a black screen and reboots. This happens under different conditions. Most of the time it is when I am using Internet Explorer and change to a new web page. Other times it happens when I am searching for a file on drive C:> Every boot up indicates that program scvhost.com did not load, and is making an error message. It reboted when I was looking for the error message file. Is their some way I can use to reinstall only that program and related programs. Another computer running W2k is not having any problems at all, and every thing is working just fine. I experence no reboots, no problems, so I feel that the scvhost.com program is at fault on this computer. Thanks for the help past, current, and future. > I am having problems with an Asus computer that is running Windows > 2000 Pro. At random times, it goes to a black screen and reboots.

The other W2k computers run just fine, and have the scvhost.com program on them. > Thanks for that information.

And do the other W2k computers have up to date antivirus software on them? http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.erkez.c@mm.html -WD >> I am having problems with an Asus computer that is running Windows >> 2000 Pro.

I have 3 copies running, ALWAYS, as soon as I boot. I'm having connection problems. Can only get 3 nntp sessions active before I start getting socket errors. Could these multiple copies of svchost be related to this problem?? >>There's no svchost.com that comes with windows. > > Hmmmm???? I thought svchost.exe belonged to Win2k. Examine my statement again and compare it to yours.  Signature-WD > >> I am having problems with an Asus computer that is running Windows > >> 2000 Pro.

Yes, svchost.exe does belong to Win2K (and NT and XP), svchost.com does not! Multiple 'copies' of svchost is perfectly normal. The program is used to 'host' services which are run from DLLs, as a DLL cannot execute directly. Each 'copy' of svchost.exe plays host to one or more services. To see what each 'copy' is hosting, open regedit, and look at: - HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost On my PC, I have four groups, and hence four copies of svchost.exe running.

I was just zeroing in on "svchost". I was lookiing for ANYTHING which could possibly be related ot my problem. From what you say, the 3 svchost processes I have running can each host one of the NNTP sessions I'm concerned about. I can only get 3 NNTP sessions running at once and there are only 3 svchost processes running. VERY coincidental. ;-) So, how can I get more of them running, so they can host umpteen-jillion sessions at once?? > >> >> I am having problems with an Asus computer that is running Windows > >> >> 2000 Pro.

Not quite the right idea. Each copy of svchost plays as a server for a number of services. Look at the registry key I pointed you at, and you will get some idea of what each svchost instance is providing. For instance, on my PC at the moment, I have three instances running: - BITS group - Background Intelligent Transfer Service. netsvcs - For a range of net, logon, routing etc services wugroup - For automatic download and installation of Windows Update. Have a look at http://www.ss64.com/ntsyntax/services.html for a better description. I'm not even certain that NNTP is provided by svchost, so yes, it might be coincidence that you can only have three sessions open, and there are three svchost instances. ZB |
