Re: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Error


Windows throws up a list of programs that it says may not fun properly if
this update is removed.
So?

Hi mr aloof1,

Uninstall this Hotfix and reboot and then run your computer and see what
happens:

Update for Windows XP (KB916595)

I had to restore my operating system to fix a couple of problems
including, "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

I discovered that this Hotfix resulted in an immediate "Generic Host
Process for Win32 Services has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
problem on every reboot. So I removed it.

Also make sure that your Anti-Virus is scanning at boot. Helps to
eliminate the error condition also.

Can I get a little help from somebody who knows a whole bunch more about
these computers than I do for this problem? Out of the blue, I've begun
getting this error: "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has
encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I
could
close the error window, and I thought, at first that there was no problem.
However, when I would get this error, I discovered that my Sound and Audio
Devices buttons, where I can select my speaker set up, volumes, etc., had
all been grayed out and were no longer accessible. A reboot fixes this
problem, however, and everything appears to become okay. One of the odd
things about this error is when it shows up. As long as I'm using the
computer, the error never appears. It appears at some point during the
computer's inactivity. I never shut down my hard drive. When I'm not
using
my computer, I just get up and leave it alone. I've got my computer set
up
so that the monitor shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity, but the
hard
drive never shuts off. The next time I go to use my computer, I'll move
my
mouse to power up my monitor, only to discover that sometime while the
computer was not being used, the "Generic Host Process for Win32
Services..." error has popped up.

Now, the way I understand it, Generic Host Process for Win32 Services is
also known as svchost.exe, correct? I ran "Tasklist /svc" from "cmd" in
the
"run" command. I discovered several svchost were running. One of those
svchost, under PID 1188, hosted a whole bunch of services, including
"Audio
Srv". Is that where my problem is? I've run every virus, malware,
spyware,
etc., scans known to mankind. I even did a Symantec online virus scan.
Nothing unusual was found. I even downloaded the Blaster Worm elimination
program and ran it. Blaster Worm wasn't on my computer.

Could something be corrupt in this svchost program?

Any ideas from anybody how I can fix this problem?
