Generic Host Process for WIN32 Services has encountered a problem and needs
to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems many people are getting this error message. I've seen that both audio
drivers and HP drivers may be to blame. Seen solutions for WIA and DEP
changes and also to download the latest .NET framework.

Error occurs for me after reboot (always) typically accompanied by a "Error
The instruction at "xxxxxxxx" referenced memory at "xxxxxxxxx". The memory
could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.
Printer (HP) wont work, and audio is inop about 50% of the time.

Seems to have started happening to a lot of people (me included) around
mid-late Nov 04.

Anyone have a good solution? I already tried the MS KB article in this topic
and HP printers - that solved the problem until a restart or reboot - then it
was back again. I've heard svchost might be blocked by a firewall, or that
it could be a worm, or that dll's are corrupt/missing.
