I have the same problem on a Toshiba Satellite 1955 laptop. It is annoying and I
generally just kill the report dump. But I sure would like to know what the problem
is. I have also been through Norton AV, various antispyware programs etc. And it
is not the Blaster worm or Norton Utiliites, which seem to be favorite culprits for
other svchost errors.. At one point I tried to kill all active processes with WinPatrol
and even that did not work. You are apparently the only other person on the Internet
that has this specific P7:00aa96bc. The rest of the error message is Type : BEX
P1 : svchost.exe P2 : 5.1.2600.2180 P3 : 41107ed6
P4 : unknown P5 : 0.0.0.0 P6 : 00000000 P7 : 00aa96bc
P8 : c0000005 P9 : 00000008 There are many other explanations for svchost.exe
error messages, but I have not seen anything on this one. The one thing we have in
common is an HP All-in-one printer. Mine is a Photosmart 2710. I'm suspicious of
it but have not tried a driver update yet.
Have you made any progress figuring out what is causing this?
Best,
Joe Miller
