Dear austechies, Are there are nuts-and-bolts techies out there who can tell me why I have suddenly started to get "svchost.exe error. Restart application" messages under Windows 2000 Pro (SP1). Completely stuffs Word, and I can't disconnect from a dial-up internet connection. Can anyone point me in the direction of a quick solution. TIA Geoffrey Marnell ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
