Hey same here.  I posted it on techenclave.com but still no one replied. I think try reinstalling windows. I did that & now no error. I  also know that if we run NFS games,no sound comes. :mad:

well searched it ang got the solution...

This error comes only in SP2. the file associated with it is scvhost.exe or svchost.ddl i think... well whatever.. its svchost file which performs the management operation in the windows... either it gets corrupt and start give the error...

I got this error after i changed the registry of system (regedit) and added a key AlwaysUnloadDll

i removed that key, switched firewall on and all is fine

i recovered the error by putting a new copy of svchost and scanning registry... actually i dont use NTFS for XP, but FAT32 alongwith windows 98SE ... i i use windows98 as a security platform when xp gets corrupted.. once my winlogon.exe got viral... and antivirus couldnt repair or delete it... so i scanned it using 98 and haha... i got it
