Cannot copy/paste

[Martyn]

SVCHOST.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR

THE INSTRUCTION AT "0xe03d3a30" REFERENCED MEMORY
AT "0xe03d3a30." THE
MEMORY COULD NOT BE READ.

IT THEN ASKS ME TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM OR TO DEBUG. IF
I DEBUG, THE NEXT
ERROR MESSAGE IS:

SVCHOST.EXE HAS GENERATED ERRORS AND WILL BE CLOSED BY
WINDOWS.

WHEN I GET THIS ERROR ONCE, I AM UNABLE TO COPY/PASTE ON
ANY SUBSEQUENT
ITEMS/DOCUMENTS UNLESS I RESTART THE COMPUTER

 

[Mark Tangard]

I seem to recall the Copy/Paste problem relates to a recent
security patch for the latest virus (worm) attack.

If nobody else jumps in here, and assuming Win XP or 2000,
repost your problem to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
Or, perhaps faster, run a Google search on that newsgroup
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) using
the words cut, paste, svchost, etc., and limiting the date
to the past 3 weeks.

This is a symptom of the Blaster worm. See
