•Error message reporting about faulting netapi32.dll and svchost.exe.

Solution:
Follow these two simple steps and your problem will be solved

STEP 1:Close Port 445:

1. Click Start menu, and then click Run .
2. In the small box that Opens, type: regedit then click the OK button.
3. Registry Editor will open.
4. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->CurrentControlSet->Services->NetBT->Parameters
In the right-hand side of the window find an option called TransportBindName.
Double click that value, and then delete the default value, thus giving it a blank value.


STEP 2:Close Port 135:

1.Then go to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->OLE
2. You will see there is a String Value called: EnableDCOM
Set the value to: N (it should currently be Y)
3. Close the Registry Editor. Shutdown and Restart your computer.

And the PROBLEM is gone !!! 😀
 
This solution will be a great help for WindowsXP SP2 users.In SP3 this problem normally not arrives.To upgrade to SP3 you must have authentic Windows XP. And all don't have that.........:yahoo:
 
Thank You very much. i was facing that problem for a long time. after applying your method. i haven't got a single debugging error. thank you very much.

GRC*|*Port Authority, for Internet Port 445**
Background and Additional Information:

While ports 137-139 were known technically as \"NBT over IP\", port 445 is \"SMB over IP\".
(SMB is known as \"Samba\" and stands for

\"Server Message Blocks\".) After all of the trouble the personal computer
industry has had with Microsoft's original Windows NetBIOS

ports 137 through 139, it is difficult to imagine or believe that Microsoft
could have actually made things significantly worse with

their replacement port 445 . . . but they did..address from the DHCP
servers used by many corporations and ISPs, will stop

functioning.
............................
Dealing with Port 445
EXTRACT

For the security reasons described above, port 445 has been causing
so many problems that many ISPs are taking security matters

into their own hands and blocking this port on behalf of their users.
If our port checking shows your port 445 as \"stealth\" while you

are not being otherwise protected by a NAT router or personal firewall,
your ISP is probably preventing port 445 traffic from

reaching you.

If you really want 445 closed

Any NAT router or personal firewall should be able
to block port 445 from the outside world without trouble.

Registry entries to be changed after backing up ,
or after creating new System Restore POINT. ( even with the bug )
 

Hi, The above steps fixed my problem. Thank you so much! I did try the Windows Fix and other registry changing processes but that didn't work for me! You really saved my day ! I was planning to format the computer and re-install it completely.
 
I should have known this before. I though its my motherboard problem or any other problem, so I tried installing Windows Vista and it was solved but I can switch back to WinXP nowThanks for the solution...
