svchost.exe plague of doom

Sunday, September 19. 2004

I have a client running a Windows 2000 Pro box with dial-up for Internet access. His computer has steadily been becoming more unusable with his dial-up connection. After an indeterminate amount of time, he would get a svchost.exe fault, and his Internet connection would stop responding. At this point he would have to reboot in order to restore use of the modem.

I had searched the web high and low, and worked through all sorts of troubleshooting guides on this problem to no avail. Finally, I came across this comprehensive site that details how to really fix the problem.

I'm sure if you're facing the same problem it will help you as well.

Thank you very much. I had the same problem and it worked.
