that’s for scratch disc.
To set the paging file go to: my computer/advanced/performance options/applications..change. Set the paging file so that it is on a seperate drive from the operating system.
Okay, I have no clue how to fix the svchost problem.. I’ve tried and my brother has even tried to help. I have no clue what caused it.. And what is the os?
The svchost problem is the Blaster worm – your machine is infected and needs to be fixed.
Dave posted a link to the Symantec web site which gives some information to try to remove the virus.
If this is not succesful, you will probably have to re-install the operating system (OS), that is, Windows itself.

Oh… Okay, Thank you Klaas 🙂
Tommy,
I’ve had Blaster – 2 steps are needed.
1. Get rid of the worm, all the AV sites will help.
2. Svchost will still fail, you MUST apply the patch from the MS site. This will stop the svchost.exe failure and all will be back to normal. The patch will also prevent another infection.
Hope you can get into the MS site today…
Best wishes,
David
Thanks you guys. I really appreciate all the help that your giving me. Although, where do I put the paging file if I only have 1 drive? And I can get the Patch from the Microsoft web page right?
the paging file will be on the c:\ drive if that’s all you have… once you’re running again get go into photoshop edit> prefrences> plugins and scratch disks and change the scratch disk location from Startup to C:\. That’ll make the message go away.
You can get the patch from windows update, but I’ve heard reports that on win2k it’s not solving the scvhost problem and a full os reinstall is needed to get it all working again.
good luck, dave

PS. Anyone know of some good tutorial sites for Photoshop and ImageReady? I’d really like to know how do expand my abilitys with the program.
Thanks again you guys!!! :goofy:
start w/ google.
search for tutorial with this format:
"photoshop tutorial something"
replace "something" with something you’re interested in learning, for example: photoshop tutorial pen tool
