Title: svchost.exe
Post by: Sienna on November 26, 2005, 09:25:25 PM

Hello.  I am new and it just took me 15 minutes to figure out how to post a message so please forgive my ignorance in advance.  I am getting this error message every time I start-up:

Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe'.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and click Search.

Can you help me figure out how to solve this?  I figure this might have something to do with how slow my computer is running.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay

I need to see a Hijackthis log
From my signature below, download and save to a permanent folder on your harddrive
Hijackthis 1.99.1

Open Hijackthis.exe
Do a SCAN and Save a Log file---Save the log----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log  here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important
