Persistent error

[Luis Ortega]

I started getting a message every time that I start Win xp pro that reads:

svchost.exe application error
The instruction at 0x745f2780 referenced memory at 0x00000000.
The memory could not be "read".

click ok to terminate program
click cancel to debug

If I click ok, then the message goes away but nothing opens on the computer.
If you click on programs or internet, nothing starts.

If I click cancel to debug, the computer continues to work but is not as
stable as before and may freeze up later on.

Can anyone please advise what the problem might be and what to do about it?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

If you get Memory Cannot be read or written. As the name refer to, it is a
memory problem, some applications/programs
didn't release the memory in timely fashion causing the Error to be thrown by
the system error reporting tools.
Also it could be the work of malwares, badly written application installed
on your system including third party toolbars installed beside Internet
explorer, do you have other toolbars installed try to uninstall them, memory
gone bad or loose in their slots/dust also can cause this.

Hi, I tried your suggestions but they didn't remove the error.
I finally discovered that it is connected to automatic updates. Switching
off automatic updates stops the message. One can still update manually from
time to time.
Thanks for your help anyway.
