SVChosts.exe error in Windows XP
I have a windows XP SP2 laptop which when booted up into windows I get the following Application Error - The instruction at "0x7c918fea" reference memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be written.
The laptop is a Sony Viao VGN-S5XP/B, it has 2gb of memory now, I recently installed a new Hard drive (250gb) and a 1 gb memory upgrade. The problem was happening before all this was installed and has come back even though we did a clean install of the operating system. Does anybody have any solution to this problem?

pspglb - I have done the scans that johnb6767 suggested and I dont have the problem occuring just yet - I will need to leave it on test as in the past it was sporadic. I was eager not to make major changes to the system at first try. I will come back to this thread tomorrow to update you. thanks to all so far.

PSPGLB - We tried your solution and the problem still happens.
Johnb6767 - We ran both malwarebytes and superantispyware, SuperAntispyware found 215 cookies that it removed otherwise nothing else was found. The latop worked fine for approx 4 hours of uptime, but we powered up today and the problem re-occuring - Anymore suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried Windows Update?
Under the circumstances, I would consider upgrading to SP3, if not already.....
ASKER
Lads - all done and is running o.k the past week, we had already put on SP3 and did a windows updates also. Thanks for all your help.
There should be an entry in the Event Viewer>System, and Application log, that should provide more info....
Can you paste it here please?
SVCHost.exe holds many services, and until you know which one you are dealing with, I would steer clear of doing mass registrations, folder renames etc....
