Approximately one out of four times, I get a svchost.exe application error upon startup of Windows XP Home SP2. I can't find the cause of this error, my computer is virus/malware free. How can I find the source of this error and/or stop it from happening. When it comes up again I'll post more details.

Ok, tried your suggestion, no workie but good guess. I even tried creating an empty file called batmeter.dll to put in it's place after I renamed it, but moments later it was again replaced with the 28KB file. Grr... You think this could be caused by my antivirus program or Microsoft AntiSpyware? Thanks for the help.

DigeratiPrime... I already have that option enabled in explorer. I've already renamed batmeter.dll to batmeter.bak. Moments later, the file batmeter.dll was replaced. So now I have both batmeter.dll and batmeter.bak. Now when I try to delete bakmeter.dll, it says Access Denied (file in use or write protected). I can delete it if I reboot into safe mode, but it is replaced again when I reboot. How the hell can I remove this. Thanks.

Anyone? I tried "regsvr32 /u batmeter.dll" but it says: Batmeter.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. How can I remove this DLL?

Might be making this too hard. If you can run batch hidden on startup, try this: @echo off :loop "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE" goto loop exit Any time Outlook is closed, it will be started again.

batmeter.dll always comes back, now it's saying access denied (file in use). What do you guys recommend?
