The svchost seems to be spiking my physical memory at startup to around 80%.. and it only drops to around 75% And i also know that my computer cannot run to about 93-98% on memory because i suspect Faulty ram from previous problems of mine.( I will be replacing it with 4gb in 1to 2 weeks) Also after disabling Pc tools threatfire & Pc tools firewall i seem to be getting alot of processes which are also playing with my phiscal memory %. b4 i uninstalled The pc tools programs there was only 2-3 svchosts.exe now there are about 13 of them..

I've had windows vista on my laptop for over a year (it came with it) and it's pretty slick and clean looking but why isn't it compatible with a lot of software! like for instance, the window's chess game...worked twice then never worked again...always gives the "executable for chess game has stopped working". I gave up on that. another one, iTunes...has numerous problems in running. Now, I've just recently gotten the sims 2 deluxe and it was running okay but now I've gotten an expansion pack for it and the game works okay once after installation then will no open again and gives me an error.
"The application has crashed and will now terminate" I've tried absolutely everything (and making sure my games and applications meet the system requirements, and they do, running it in compatibility mode, updating my sims games which open for business update will not update after installing it once. It works if i install it immediately after I install OFB..but even then so, it crashes after one time playing the game!).......
I launch IE8 the error msgs appear. "The instruction at 0x00968a08 referenced memory at 0x0000000. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program" "Exeption EAccessviolation in module shellEh440.dll at 00008A08. Access violation at address 00968A08 in module ' ShellEh440.dll'. Write of address 0000000."
This is not a joke! I started to hear sporadically some music and voice on my PC, like if I was listening to a radio station; I have no such application on my system. When this is happening, only ordinary applications (like Outlook or Word) are running. Stopping all the applications does not make any difference. When it happens, I have noticed that a process called 17134.exe is running and is consuming quite a lot of memory space. At start-up of my system, the original memory space used by that process is around 2000K but when I start hearing the sounds, the amount of memory used is around 58000K and varying; it uses between 10 to 30% of CPU. If I stop the process, the situation goes back to normal, no more sounds. The description of the process is ???Unload PerfMon Counters???. I looked for a file named 17134.exe on my disk but there is no such file. When I start my system, I have a window with an error message: 17134.exe application error, click OK to terminate the program. The process is recreated automatically. I make sure that my anti-virus is always up-to-date and I ran a full scan on my system. Nothing unusual was detected. I would like to know if that process is legitimate, and why it behaves like that.
I can receive messages, but none would sent. It was working fine for months, but after I moved to a new location I can send with the Windows Mail. I have 5 ssages in the Outbox and every tiem I send this erros msg. shows up: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.
I'm cross-posting because these 2 problems appeared at the same time (after installing a lot of Windows XP application software) and may be related. I am thinking of laboriously going back through a lot of restore points, but would prefer some insight as to exactly what happened. Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell D830 with McAfee virus and e-mail protection. For the first week or so, neither problem was present.
(1) Windows Mail (winmail.exe) does not terminate its process when I exit. Thus I can't launch it again unless I either log out and log in again, or manually kill the process. Temporarily turning off McAfee e-mail scanning does not affect this.
(2) Whenever I delete anything from the desktop (whether my own desktop or the All Users desktop), Explorer hangs with a message like "Recycling 1 item...". I hit Cancel and the message box becomes unresponsive. I can still delete items from the desktop using Command Prompt and perhaps also in other ways.
First of all, i have 13 svchosts running. I seem to recall around 3 in windows xp 32. Is this normal? Second, one of the svchost.exe's is ALWAYS using 120+ mb of ram. This can hardly be right, can it?
One of the most common questions about system processes is what is svchost.exe and why are there so many processes running? First appearing in Windows XP, svchost.exe hosts multiple services within one process. This allows the operating system to save memory by reducing process overhead by cutting down on the number of processes that need to be running.
Every system service such as Windows Update, Event Log, Terminal Services, Audio Service, etc. runs within svchost.exe. Depending on the access the services need, they are grouped together and are run in a number of processes which explains why you see so many in Task Manager running under different accounts such as System, Local Service and Network Service.
Identifying what services are running is different depending on the version of Windows you have....
I had this problem earlier but after installing Vista Service Pack 2 an instance of svchost.exe is using 91,256 K of RAM. I have disabled Superfetch. Go to services reveals:
I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and one of these days I saw that the processes svchost.exe should be running. I open my Windows Task Manager, and there is no svchost.exe anywhere. Not a single one!
Vista Basic Machine started running very slowly and when I looked in Task Manager svchost.exe was using a 100% CPU. Using system internals process explorer it???s the network service containing crytsvc, dnscach, KtmRm, NlaSvc, Tapisrv and Termservice. Looking inside the thread that is using the CPU is ntdll.dll
I???ve ran all virus and spyware checkers I can and all show no problems. I've booted in safe mode and cleared all the softwaredistribution folder. The slow running does not affect safe mode but as the service is not started no great surprise. Windows Update doesn't work in safe mode either, thanks Microsoft. I tried to update AVG virus checker but it wanted KB929547 applied so I downloaded it and tried to run but after several hours all I got was install failed with 0x800706bb
When i start up my laptop (vistaHPx86) ITs all good untill 'Svchost' starts.. then my computer forever loads something (I heard the sound),untill I shut down my computer.. this is so annoying any idea what windows is doing?
I started noticing about just 2 days ago. whenever i am playing a movie or any audio file, its not clear because the cpu is being used completely 100% most of the time. I checked the task manager and found out that svchost.exe is taking up most of the memory and cpu! any solutions so that i can fix this, i dont think i can end process svchost since it runs some important applications on windows.
I've been a reader of the forums for a little while and found the need to make my first post. Let me preface, that I've done some searching on this issue, tried lots of things, and found nothing to help resolving mine. I'm running Vista Ultimate X64 SP1. It seems that SVCHOST.exe is causing the problem and I've attached a screenshot of the associated services. The problem seems to be random in terms of when it acts up, but quite often. The only temporary resolution is a restart.
This file called SVCHOST.exe is consuming my RAM, hard drive, CPU and everything on my Vista machine to capacity use. I know the real one is a necessary program, but there are many copies of this file working simultaneously here and my performance is down to a crawl or a crash. I've looked everywhere for a solution and have tried a couple to no avail. I get no working answers from anyone. Many, many other Windows users are getting this in massive amounts, too, so it's not isolated to me. Everything slows to a crawl often several times a day. I often have to restart. I am told it might be one or more viruses that does this, and I've been told it might be an unfixed bug in Vista, but no square answers. My scans and virus updates from Norton and MS haven't fixed this problem. I am now seriously thinking of copying my whole disk to an outboard memory and reintalling Linux on my machine instead of Windows Vista, as no one seems to want to address this issue in the Vista world, even though it is obviously a very prevalent problem.
I have installed Windows Vista in system. After logging into my system,when the desktop appears, i am seeing a command prompt running the below files each time i am logging in C:Windowssystem32tvdm.exeC:UsersusernameApp DataRoamingsupportsvchost.exe
I would like to know what these .exe files are basically and how to make this prompt window prevent from appearing each time when i am logging in. Whether this affects the OS & any of the system files/drivers or whether this is a virus,trojan or any kind of that.
In my network, sometimes my user's laptops freeze during the logon script. Well the computers don't actually freeze, they just don't move beyond the logon script. When I go into task mamager, cpu is running at 100% (2 gb ram and very new processors) and the process taking up the most memory (48,748k)is svchost.exe I think it's associated with the windows search indexing but I'm not completely sure. On the Microsoft support site I saw that I could use the command tasklist /svc to see what is running in svchost. But I haven't figured out yet how to determine exactly what this svchost process is assoicated with so I can prevent it from running all the time.
is there a way to tell if i have IE-7-or8- I was reading in a windows guide about IE7 and how safe it was ,this is a new computer (2 months old) and user I want to run it the best way--any and all infomation will be well heeded
I've tried and tried, please I hope you can help me. I have a Toshiba A215-4817 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. My troubles began when my cd/dvd was not operating properly. Toshiba support said my operating system was corrupt. I didn't believe that just because the cd/dvd wasn't working properly that the os is corrupt, maybe they were right.
I have extremely important info on my hd as I do taxes for a living.
In an effort to trouble shoot the cd/dvd I booted into safe mode. No-one tole me that the administrator account is disabled by default! So now I can't get out of safe mode. I have access to only my limited user account and uac is enabled. System restore doesn't change boot options.
I can't edit registry = access denied, cmd.exe when trying to activate administrator account = system error 5.
I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Is it safe to install SP2 yet? I scanned the first six pages of posts, and there was no mention of SP2. So it looks as if there are no problems
My son kept shutting the laptop w/o powering down and now it starts in safe mode. The first time I rebooted and this solved the problem but now that won't work. I can't get it to go back to normal. This has happened in the past but I can't remember what I did to fix it.
I had an issue with one of my games and it directed me to go into safe mode to uninstall it. Now that it's uninstalled, I can't get out of safe mode. I've been through this forum in and out. I've done nearly all the things that it has stated that come close to my issue. I'm still in here. I've been in and out for 3 hours now. I've gone through the msconfig, and told it to restart in normal mode, I'm still in safe mode. I've used the F8 button while starting it, and told it to go to safe mode, I'm still here. I've even checked to see if it was the resolution, I've set it to my default settings of 1280x720, and restart it, it's still in safe mode. I've done EVERYTHING that I can think of.
I press f5 or is it f8. but either way I get to the Safe Mood Selection screen and no matter what option I select, Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Prompts, of Safe Mood with Network support, it doesn't matter it boots normal to my user sign in screen and then it freezes.. no mouse or keyboard functions... If I run the recovery disk and tool options then mouse and keyboard work but I still cannot boot up in safe mode nor can I boot up normal.. I just need to get into safe mode and then I believe I can resolve this but since I can't get into safe mode I don't know what else to do?
Where can I get screensavers that are totally safe and not going to bombard me with a bunch of ads and other things that I don't want. I am particularly interested in one with animals. am willing to pay if it means it is safe.
I had trend doing a new scan a more complete one while it was doing it i went in i could stop it hit cancel stop safe box and computer wouldreturn to normal I thought that was 6 hourds ago well after i deletedtrend it still in a safe mode.
I can say is I changed trend to do a real good cleaning of all of folders etc. When I got the safe mode I found trend was doinmg a scan so I stopped it and then it said close and stop safe mode which I did. I also deleted trend to. I m really bad I dont know what I did. I use that I had brain surgery and I m just dah sometimes.
I have a new motherboard (abit nh-m2sv), X2 +3800 processor, 2 gig pc4200 memory ATI graphics, DVD RW, Maxtor SATA drive, all are suppose to be Vista ready, but vista either won't install, or installs with BSOD's then will only run in Safe Mode.
I have tried Home Basic and premium, the same issue, I install my old faitful XP and it goes straight in. I have run memtest, all fine, I have removed the gfx card, no change, I have tried an IDE hdd rather than a SATA no change.
Vista will not boot into Safe mode or Normally. The mouse pointer sits on the screen and can be moved but the logon screen does not appear. When I go into startup repair it says it "Could not detect a problem". I have run a chkdsk /f which ran clean. What else can I try to make the logon screen appear?
