What is csrss.exe?

It's the Windows Client Server Runtime SubSystem. A expensive name for what is a core part of Windows itself.

Do you have ZoneAlarm? I had the same error message and fixed it by allowing the program to run in ZoneAlarm > Program Control > Add > C:/WINDOWS/Media/Csrss.exe

Hope that helps.

Hi Sir,
I'm also having a problem with csrss.exe, I've read an article on how to resolve the error. So I installed HiJackthis and follow the instruction, and restarted my PC. The error was resolved but I cannot access my msdos. Everytime I run cmd, my computer shuts down. Pls help... thanks...

I am getting error message csrss.exe- can not find. How do I sto it?

Problem: My computer is performing slow. Long periods of time to respond to a mouse selection. The PC does behave similarly when I am getting a "Live Update" from Symantec.

In this case (today) I note that whilst in task manager the csrss.exe is getting frequent cpu hits. Firefox and Outlook Express were running but I had not invoked anything for at least an hour.

Analysis ??

I'm afraid I have deleted csrss system file, and everytime that I try to put on the pc the screen turns black and I just can't do nothing. I've also tried to boot in safe mode but the same thing hapened.

HELP PLEASE
(soz for the english)

You'll need to try a repair-install of Windows.
