it's like i don't have have any contro in the system. i have tried everything possible besides format or reinstalling. I cannot format this computer of make any such changes. this computer is responsible for thousands of plp and it's not a server without backups plus it has several programs that i cannot reinstall because there is no access to the installation files.

I would strongly do a new install of Windows. You can boot from the Windows XP disk and install windows alongside the old installation without formatting it, then manually either install or move the application files and registry entries across.

Isn't there any other method to use without installing windows alongside the current installation?
Can this be resolved in the current installation?

XP SP3?

Please....

its a new client of ours, there is a server but some clown installed the program on this computer instead.
the applications are very important that's why it's responsible for so many.

Where is said clown now?

Nobody would install an app that requires thousands of connections on an XP PC as it can't cope with the numbers - that would have been realised from day 1.

I smell a rat.

After friday we now know what has cause the problem. it was the major bust that mcafee released that was the problem.

now problem cant be fixed becuase we removed that AV becuase there was avg already. (well, the clown installed mcafee enterprise edition after avg, talkin about clowns).

so now im stranded and i wudnt have deleted it manually (couldn't uninstall because the installer service was not running)if my boss didnt say get it uninstalled. now im here monday morning and am greeted with a long convo about me uninstlling the application. ( it was get tisolved leonard,get it uninstalled i dont wanna havee mcafee there now i did it and im the devil, would you believe that). so now i have to solve the problem through some other means because the resolution given by mcafee requires the mecafee AV, and it not there. yeah..nicee..more trouble. talking about micromanagement.

I've done it before, reinstall the application then remove it right afterwards, without rebooting in between. If that won't work, install it all of the way, reboot, then remove it.

Does the system run McAfee VirusScan ?

If so then the system may have had the DAT 5858 installed and thus quarantined the svhost.exe file.

Goto McAfee website and run the sdat5858_em.exe tool to fix the issue the update AV software to latest version!

by iam4u3

when i run the fix it is not successful. it tell me a registry entry is missing. so thats where the problem comes. cannot run the fix. need to find a workoround.

by p.j.hutchison

1. Update the virusscan to latest DAT (use the datxxx.exe file from McAfee website).

2. Find a working PC and copy svchost.exe from c:\windows\system32 to a disk (CD or USB)

3. Copy svchost.exe to C:\Windows\System32 and reboot.
