svchost

[danbug]

A few weeks ago, I installed a new HDD and therefore a new
install of Win2k. I added SP4 and other upgrades;
installed Office and other apps. Now I'm getting an error
after about 30-60 minutes that says svchost.exe has
generated errors -- after which, I cannot open associated
files and some web links don't work. Plus, I can't use
Media Player or send e-mail messages. As well, I get the
following message in Event Viewer:

Event ID: 7031
The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following
corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No
action.

Please send help.
TIA,

I just reformatted my computer and had that exact problem
and did an hours worth of searches before I finally found
the problem being apparently the blaster worm. You can
get the fix for this right on microsofts website just
follow the instructions and make sure you have the needed
files already updated to do so and it should fix it, it
did for me and I got the stupid virus like 2 minutes after
being online myself so I'm almost convinced it's
inevitable since it's like the 3rd time I've had to redo
windows and got it when I first signed on every time lol.

Anyways hope that helps, go to windows download site not
the update site, the downloads page and there is a link
there for it. Good luck it's an easy fix so no worries
