Guest suzywhite Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 More often than not when I am turning off my computer I get an error box coming up during the "windows is shutting down" blue screen. Its an svchst.exe application error "can't write referenced memory ox....... too quick to write down. The error message is there for a few seconds then disappears on its own and computer goes off no problem. No other problems at all. Happens with both my office and home laptop. Ive run Norton, Adaware, and Spybot - all latest and updated. Nothing found. Would be soooooo grateful for help, please?

Guest suzywhite Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 RE: svchost error at shutdown XP user The full message happens when windows says it is shutting down. As follows. Grey box with svchst.exe application error. The instruction at OX69532977 referenced memory OX ??????. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate. I don't need to click as the message disappears after about 10 seconds. In the event log I have found Event 1517. Windows saved user ......... administrator registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account. Try configuring the services to run in either localservice or network service a/c. There is a link then to Microsoft and suggested downloaded something called UPH clean. I installed and ran this software but still getting the error. I have scanned with 4 different programs and no malaware/viruses detected. Also cleaned out caches, cookies and so on. Still no good. It doesn't happen every time I use the computer, but several times a week. Any ideas? In all other respects, the computer is running fine. I have the problem with both my laptop at home and my office computer.

Open a run command and type in: sfc /scannow click [OK], you will need the XP CD for this operation to accomplish. Turn OFF windows Update from the services control panel and see if the svchost.exe will disappear. HTH. Let us know. Regards, nass ---------- http://www.nasstec.co.uk
