Have you installed SP2? Also an svchost error could mean possible dll corruption.
Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that are run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services portion of the registry to construct a list of services that it needs to load. There can be multiple instances of Svchost.exe running at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services, so that separate services can be run depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This allows for better control and debugging.

You can try the SP2. First try this. Go to the command promt (cmd) and type the following:
sfc /scanonce
Then reboot (You wil need your windows 2000 CD). If that does not find any thing wrong or does not fix it then try SP2. If that still causes issues then a reload may be in order. James Collins
