I am cross posting this to the Windows XP sites as well as the Tablet site.

I have been receiving these errors since I installed SP2. Based on the
discussions that I see here a lot of users have been receiving these errors.
There does not appear to be any consistent reason(s) just a lot of problems
reported. When the problem occurs (svchost.exe error) it takes most of the
CPU causing the CPU to run at 100% and effectively lock up. I had to post
this in safe mode because the errors were occurring so frequently that I
couldn't get to the posting screen.

I have run updated virus checking (McAfee is resident, Norton from their web
site) as well as 4 different spyware detections (Microsoft Beta is memory
resident) in normal as well as SAFE mode. Nothing has been found.

I have another computer on SP1 with much the same software and that computer
is not experiencing the problems.

There HAS to be someone, somewhere that can tell us what to do to eliminate
the problem.

I am attaching properties of what appears to be related application event
and system event. I am also attaching the text of the application viewer.
As you will see this problem occurs with GREAT frequency.

The only thing that I can find unique is that it occurs more frequently when
I am on a slower connection. I have cable high speed at one location and DSL
high (?) speed at another. The problem occurs most frequently (almost
consistently) when I am at the DSL site. I would refer you to the event list
from 4/14/05 from 8:12:57PM forward. That was when I turned on my computer
at the DSL site. Earlier times were at the cable site and as you can see the
errors were there but very limited.

Sounds like you recently installed a scanner or other imaging device, and
you are having problems with Windows Image Acquisition. Might try
uninstalling the drivers for your scanner, then reboot, disable any
antivirus program and reinstall them. Sounds like they may be corrupt.
Also check with the manufacturer of the scanner to see if they offer updated
drivers. You will most likely get better advice in a Windows XP hardware
newsgroup.
