Win 2k Question

[Maxtr0sity]

I just switched to 2000 yesterday. I've used it in the past, but this time around, I'm experiencing some problems. Every once in a while, I get an error that deals with svchost.exe. It shuts it down and makes an error log somewhere. Then basically, main functions of my computer freezes until I restart. Has anyone ever heard of this problem? It's really driving me nuts because I can't install Flash or any Macromedia products.

Nope. :-\

Hmm... have you tried installing all of the service packs from www.microsoft.com yet? Try doing that..A nd updating your computer.. It will help.. :)

[Maxtr0sity]

I got the latest Service Pack 4 already.

Hmm... svchost.exe.... Do you often check your drives for Spyware and all that junk?

tried google?

[Maxtr0sity]

Google came up with too many possibilities. And I've installed Spybot and AVG, nothing. I didn't think so because I just did a clean format, there is no way for me to have downloaded something already. I don't use Kazaa and certainly don't download stuff I don't know.

That's weird... I know this may sound peevish.. But is it a legal copy of the win2k? Like a new serial... Don't tkae that in a bad way.. Just trying everything here.

It's a legal copy alright. My dad bought it a long time ago. We just never bothered to use it that much. I was using 98 at the time we bought it and right after we got 2000, we got ME also for some weird reason.
