svchost.exe

[Mark Fraser]

I am having major trouble today with the following message

svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will
need to restart the program.

I then encounter memory problems and a general slowing down before Windows

pretty much halts altogether. Any ideas?
