Guest mc Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I am running xp sp2. This morning when I started the computer a pop up "Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Windows" came up saying "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program" referencing "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services". Then a second pop up "svchost.ext - Application Error" came up saying "The instruction at 0x7e030af2 referenced memory at 0x7e030af2. The memory could not be written.". I clicked the "ok" button of the second pop up to close it, after which the windows tool bar on the bottom of the screen stops functioning. I closed Outlook which autostarted, but it still shows on the windows tool bar. The start button on the tool bar would not respond. I opened task manager and click restart, and that is when everything froze. I had to do a hard shut down by holding down the power on/of button. When I booted up the computer again, the "Data Execution Prevention" pop up came up again, but not the "svchost.exe - Application Error". Anyone has any clue as to what happened, and anything I can do to fix? Thank you.

Can you do anything at all when you log on normally? Can you log on to Safe Mode? Is your machine free of virus and other pests? The DEP settings can be modified: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875351 The settings can be changed in the /noexecute= switch in the boot.ini file: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352 John
Guest mc Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: "svchost.exe - Application Error" Did not try to log onto save mode. After the hard shut down and reboot, only the DEP pop up showed up and not the svchost error. Then when I closed the DEP pop up, I was able to continue on as normal. During the initial boot when I got the svchost.exe application error pop up, after I clicked the ok button to close that pop up, I was able to navigate to other running applications only by alt-tab and not via the windows tool bar. Even the start button on the windows tool bar would not respond. "John John" wrote: > mc wrote: > > > I am running xp sp2.

Guest John John Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: "svchost.exe - Application Error" Make absolutely sure that you have no virus and pests on your computer and if the error persists use the /noexecute=OptIn switch in the boot.ini file.
