    Default some issuees

    Hello and thanks for everything.
    I am still seeing dllHost.exe COM surrogate, it keeps appearing then disappearing in task manager, and every time it does my mouse pointer blinks and gets the activity indicator, it happens about every 20 to 30 seconds.
    I also have something showing up in my D partition, I have formatted, and wiped it clean, but something taking up 1GB keeps showing up, but I cant see what it is

    Default screen shot

    Thanks again, I took a couple of shots, it's driving me crazy seeing the activity indicator every few seconds, sometimes there will be 2 of the dllhost.exe at the same time.

    Hi jamper :)

    Try this:


    ERUNT Registry
    Backing Up Your Registry
    1. Go HERE and download ERUNT
      (ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) is a free program that allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.)
    2. Install ERUNT by following the prompts
      (use the default install settings but say no to the portion that asks you to add ERUNT to the start-up folder, if you like you can enable this option later)
    3. Start ERUNT
      (either by double clicking on the desktop icon or choosing to start the program at the end of the setup)
    4. Choose a location for the backup
      (the default location is C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT which is acceptable).
    5. Make sure that at least the first two check boxes are ticked
    6. Press OK
    7. Press YES to create the folder.
    For detailed instruction on how to back-up registry via ERUNT, please visit HERE
    NEXT

    Stop, Disable A Service
    Go to Start, Run OR Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt and type Services.msc and click OK.
    Scroll down and find the service.

    dllHost

    Click once on the service to highlight it.
    Right-Click on the service. Click on Properties
    Select the General tab.
    Next to Service Status, click Stop.
    Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side of the Start-up Type box.
    From the drop-down menu, click on Disabled
    Click Apply , then OK

    Default two different instructions

    Hi Robybel,
    Thanks, for the help, but I am a little confused, the very first thing that I did before posting in the forum was to download ERUNT, and the other thing is on your last reply you said to download erunt but the email I received to alert me to your reply gave me different instructions which included using Tweaking.com and no mention of erunt.
    So I am not sure what to do. and wondering why the email says something different then your last post.

    I followed the instructions to disable the service, but the dll does not show up in the Services.msc even tho it is in the task manager
