My computer recently adopted this strange habit: Whenever I open CS3 or Lightroom, while loading either I get an Application Error window, usually several times, alluding to "SVCHOST.EXE" The error message is:
The instruction at "0x00aa9eee" referenced memory at 0x000000000". The memory could not be "written".
Then is says, Check OK to terminate program or CANCEL to debug.
The latter does nothing. The former eventually removes the error panel and loading of the program resumes. When loaded both programs seem to work okay.
I tried Googling SVCHOST.EXE and found conflicting information–that it is a necessary Microsoft program and also that it is used by virus writers for bad things. No indication of how to tell the difference, or correct this error.
I should add that the same window appears once during general bootup of the computer. No idea what program loading triggers it. The Adobe programs seem to be the only ones that trigger successive appearances of this error window.
Any suggestions what I should do?
