svchost.exe

[Bruce Locken]

I recently had comcast broadband installed and several
things happened:
When I boot up randomly placed letters and symbols appear
until the windows logo replaces them.
I get a message that says svchost has generated errors and
the program will be closed by windows. I don't have to be
on the web to get this. When it happens I have to reboot
to either log on to the web or access email.
I'd appreciate whatever help you can offer
Bruce
