windows 2000 pro
sqlserver installed
service pack 4

same thing happened with servicepack 1


I get a lot of 4097's in the log. They come from memory
address errors in SVCHost.exe "Memory could
not be read. The errors come in pairs and after I get
these two errors the mouse can not activate a button
control on the web page. I have to power down and re-boot
before the buttons work again, It usually
takes about 10 minutes or so before it happens.

Message in the log:
Event 4097:

The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during
its internal processing.
HRESULT was 800706BA from line 42
of .\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft
Product Support Services to report this error.

sounded a lot like base article 298061 but It is for
servicepack 1
 
I have the same problem -- mouse related too. I recently
upgraded from NT4.0 to Win2000 and lost COM3 and COM4. And
this was after the latest 'Update' session. Is there a
basic incompatibility between Win2000 and certain chipsets?

Any info helpful.

Season's greetings all,

Chris
