svchost.exe memory errors with 802.1x authentication.

[Paul Barber]

Allow me to preface this by saying that I've configured an
XP Pro machine in this exact way with no errors.

I have some HP TC5700 thin clients that I'm trying to put
on a wireless network. I wan't to use 802.1x
authentication, PEAP + MSCHAP v2. When I first configure
networking on the wireless card, I authenticate
perfectly. I can log out and back in great.

When I reboot, though, my problem crops up. On boot, if I
log on as a domain user, as soon as the authentication
succeeds for the wireless connection, I get the error "The
instruction at '0x77f69d63' referenced memory
at '0x2e332e31'. The memory could not be 'written'." in a
window titled "svchost.exe - Application Error". At that
point I'm not on the network, and there is no "Wireless
Networks" tab on the network connection's properties
windows.

If, on boot, I first log in with the local "Administrator"
account, then immediately log out and back in as the very
same domain user, everything works like it's supposed to.

I've changed every possible setting on the Authentication
page of the wireless network properties and nothing has
solved it. It seems as though some service needs a
desktop as a local user to initialize before the wireless
domain authentication can take place. Does anyone have
any idea as to what to try?

Paul,

Contact HP and see if there are possible XPe builds that contain what you
need available for download or purchase. I'm not sure how this works with
HP. This forum is for XPe developers, so we could tell you how to run
depends against the exe, make a list of missing component dependencies, add
them to a runtime, and rebuild but I'm guessing you don't have the XPe
Tools. Good luck on getting it working!

HTH,
