Unhandled exception in svchost.exe?

Question

Lately I've been getting an error that looks like this: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3897/erroruv0.jpg When I close out the error, it makes my computer revert to the classic windows theme and causes my sound to stop working. Is there anyway to fix this error?

Answer 1

What this means is the process had an error and is closing itself. While it is closing it is giving you a chance to debug the program, but has found no debugger available to do so.

To disable these types of messages you can read the tutorial here:

I would also check your event viewer to try and determine which services, running under the svchost.exe is crashing, and then maybe from there determine what the cause may be.
