I have Win 2K. To address the "svchost has generated error" problem
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Win2000/Q_20707803.html
I have been trying to install the SP4 update/fix to this problem -- but to no avail. The error happens and the virus prevents me from updating and fixing this problem.
I am planning to re-format, but it occured to me that i may need to zero-fill the drive. Does anyone have experience with this kind of problem? Is such a drastic measure really necessary?
I'd prefer just to re-format and install the OS, but if I have to, I will "nuke" it.
