I've just installed XP Pro, sp2 on a PC and I'm getting the error message:
"generic host process for win32 services has encountered an error and needs
to close". The error signature is szAppName: svchost.exe, szAppVer:
5.1.2600.2180; szModName: msvcrt.dll; szModVer: 7.0.2600.2180; offset:
00037366.

I've had to reinstall XP Pro on this PC at least twice. The integrated
video on the motherboard is apparently fried too which makes me wonder if
there's something else going on with the PC that's corrupting the operating
system. I checked to see if the former owner of the PC had put the right RAM
on the mother board to match the processor and that doesn't seem to have
changed since the PC left the factory.

Can anyone make a suggestion as to how to fix this error?

Thanks in advance.
Dana
