Need some help, today my windows 2000 machine started having problems with svchost. It happens whenever I surf the internet.
I connect to my ISP using a 56k dial-up connection, I start surfing the web then a couple of minutes later the following messages appear: __________________________________________________ Event Type: Information Event Source: Application Popup Event Category: None Event ID: 26 Date: 8/11/2003 Time: 12:07:40 PM User: N/A Description: Application popup: svchost.exe - Application Error : The exception Privileged instruction. (0xc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0x0052f863. Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program Event Type: Information Event Source: Application Popup Event Category: None Event ID: 26 Date: 8/11/2003 Time: 12:08:26 PM User: N/A Description: Application popup: svchost.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x77d48bcd" referenced memory at "0xd3c524dd". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program __________________________________________________ and another error message that RPC unexpectedly closes/exits. After these errors Windows 2000 craps out, runs slow, it doesn't let me view certain folders etc. etc. I am not sure what the problem is, as the computer was working perfectly. I might say that there is a problem with the modem, but i am not sure. If any of you have had similar problems, or if you have any suggestions please reply. Thank you for all your help.

I hate that deep down in the bowels of Hades..., I mean Windows, shit
 I hate the Registry, I hate the networking shit, I hate the IE built in crap, I hate the fact that I have like five instances of scvhost.exe running right now and I don't know what even fucking one of them is doing.

I hate the fact that this patch has been available for a month now, and yet very few people have patched.

I haven't had any problems, wouldn't it be an auto update as well?

 But you may have to take it a step further. Do a search for msblast and delete everything having to do with it. You may have to stop the process from running first via Task manager. Then, check the run key in the registry and remove the link to msblast.exe Then, run the patch. Also... I suggest upgrading from SP2 you noob!  LoL jk. The only people I've seen with the svchost crashing are on Sp2. If you had 3, or 4, you wouldn't have the problem.
