Superfetch has stopped working

[Guest]

I want to find out about an error message I keep getting on my Window Vista
Ultimate computer, with 320gb hard disk with 2gb RAM. I get a message that
"Superfetch has stopped working" and an option to search the internet for a
solution. If I click the details it tells me that the SVCHost.exe has
crashed. Does anyone know what this means or is there a download or
something to fix it? This is a new computer, and I would like to know
whether it is fixable or should I be taking it back to the shop I bought it
from?

I have looked at this and it is as you suggest. There must be some other
problem. Thanks for your help anyway.

Thanks, Brink. I did that and it said there were no integrity errors. Do
you have any other ideas?

Thanks, Shawn. I appreciate your time in trying to help me with this. I
will try all the things you have suggested, but I suppose I go back to my
original question - this computer is only a few weeks old - should I be
returning it? If not, how stable is it? I originally asked the question
because when I get the error message the screen goes blank for a second or
two, and I am really concerned that I am going to lose all my data - this is
a business computer so this would be a massive disaster. From what you are
saying here, this is a Vista bug and in time there will be a fix for it and I
am happy to wait for that if I am sure that I won't lose everything in the
meantime. Any thoughts?
