Event ID 2000

[chat]

Hi,

Looking in the event viewer, I get the following error repeatedly:
Source : Srv
Type: Error Category: None
Event ID : 2000
Description: The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly
Words:
0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00007d0
0010: 00000000 c000000d 00000000 00000000
0020: 00000000 00000000 00fa032c

I am running WinXP Pro with a high speed cable modem and ICS with a
machine with Win98

Nothing seems to be particularly wrong except that every once in a
while, when I surf the internet I get a window minimized to the task
bar that states: Cannot find server. Yet IE explorer continues to run
fine in the open IE explorer window. I don't know if the two are
related.

I would like to stop the constant Srv messages in the event viewer and
would appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

Many TIAs.
Hervé

That shows that this issue happens in Windows 2000 and the recommended fix is to install the latest service pack. Do you have Windows XP SP1a installed?

Are you running Antivirus software? How about a firewall?

Yes Booger, I have SP1 and all the latest patches installed.
I also have Norton Antivirus 2003 and Norton Internet Security installed. As I said, I am also the host for a home network set up using the WinXP network wizard and I also use ICS with broadband cable.

Any help would be appreciated. It doesn't seem to cause any noticeable problems other than multiple logs in the event viewer.

Many thanks,
Hervé

I noticed you have the following code posted:

c000000d (INVALID_PARAMETER) and 028e0bc5: Caused by PC-cillin loaded on Windows 95 clients. See Q192732

But as you say you have windows 98, does it by chance have PC-cillin loaded on it?


Do you have a shared printer on the network?
Q134759 Event 2000 Occurs When You Print to a Shared Printer

That Q134759 comes from the following code you received:

c00007d0



Other than that, I cannot think of anything else to fix this. Perhaps someone else has an idea. I would say this, try reinstalling ICS and starting from scratch to see if that removes the errors. But if as you say, there is no real problem, I wouldn't worry about it, and just continue using it.


By the way, welcome to TZ.
