Hello acorn75357
Try running System File Check
Get your WinXP CD handy, then go to Start>Run and type
sfc /scannow
That'll replace any missing or corrupt system files..

Try turning off Automatic Updates. I have known this to fix some of these svchost errors
Right click My Computer/Properties/Automatic Updates.
Turn it off completely.Reboot
Then
Start/All Programs/Windows Update (top of left column)
Install all critical updates offered.
Reboot and check if the problem is solved.
If it is OK you can turn Automatic Updates on again.

Thank you I tired it an it didn't correct it either, I think most likely I will have to reinstall XP, or re-format the disk and start over. I really appreciate your help!

per http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic261076.html
1- Go to Control Panel
2- Administrative Tools
3- Services
4- go to the following Service : ( Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework ) Right Click then choose Properties ----> in the start up type choose Disabled.
5- Then reboot the system.
That fixed it for me.

jon vander grinten; I owe you a huge apology. I reported back that the fix you suggested didn't work. Actually, I had 2 or 3 fixes written down and I looked at the wrong one. Not the one you had suggested. When I did the fix you suggested, it worked perfectly. Plz accept my apology and thx for the fix. Respectfully, dgupton4

Thanks for the sequence off the Control Panel / Administrative Tools in Services of the MMC re: svchost.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x7c91b21a" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written".The correction to check off disabled on the Windows Driver Foundation-User Mode Driver Framework worked like a charm, as it should on my Windows XP SP3 Professional w/ Media Center, without the mean blue screen from Dell or other wonderful cyclical stucknesses...I was scared of a disastrous consequence, but voila, forum experts do exist. I thought I would reiterate the answer in the thanks note in case someone reads this first...

turn off stand by and screen saver before you do this. it may work. i don't know why you would need the windows CD. and DON'T interupt the scan or turn off the computer nor any restart or stand by either !!!

Perfect. fixed it right away. of coarse, in order to find this resolve you have to type in everything the error message has on it. windows 7 for me soon, i hope it don;t have this complexity.
