Re: Generic Host Process error

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Then, as I mentioned, I don't think that the problem is what it appears to
be. You can verify that the right file versions are installed by checking
the library files as described here:

However, personally I would start doing a cleanup of the boot, as I strongly
suspect the problem lies elsewhere.

That appears to be the problem. I restart immediately and I've scanned
(in
safe mode, no less) my computer for viruses/malware/spyware/etc. No luck.

Have you restarted the computer after applying it?

The OCA mechanism isn't perfect by any means, and may have misdiagnosed
the
problem. The generic host process error can also be due to the
installation
of malware, have you scanned the system for spy/ad programs with
something
like AdAware or Spybot yet?

Occasionally, I receive a generic host process for Win32 Services error
after I start or restart my computer. When I select error reporting, I
am directed to a Windows site that has a solution
(http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=b17eae55-a5c5-4c4b-927c-bb47ec54853f&SID=1501).
The directions I'm given ask me to access an Update for Windows XP
website. Supposedly, if I download and execute a file, I won't have
this error any more. However, I executed the file and still get the
same error message every so often. What gives? Thanks in advance.
