Matter resolved in a somewhat convoluted way.
I received notification of several HP printer/software updates. HP
Photosmart Premier wasn't experiencing the same display problems that Windows
Explorer was with thumbnails, but I decided to install the updates anyway.
On restart of the system, the svchost.exe Application Error message - The
instruction at "0x00df96bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory
could not be "written" - has disappear.
However, I was still received several Generic Host Process messages, but
Windows Explorer displayed thumbnails correctly. This lead me to look into a
number of other applications. I found that none of the applications within
Roxio Easy Media Creator would launch. I ran a repair on this, but the
problem persisted. So, I took the sledgehammer approach and uninstalled the
application. Problem solved! No more Generic Host Process error messages on
startup. I have yet to try to reinstall Roxio.

That was one of my first thoughts. In fact I have just replaced the
original Dell Dimension 5100 1Gb RAM (2x512 modules) with 4Gb (4x1Gb) NECC
Dual Channel DDR2 533MHz SDRAM. The problem persists, so I doubt that it is
a physical memory issue.

Folks,
Another variation on the svchost.exe application error which appears
to keep manifesting itself after certain Windows Updates. This
time, I suspect with XP SP1.
On startup I'm getting several warning messages that Generic Host
Process Services has encountered a problem and needs to close along
with the svchost.exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x00df96bc" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
The memory could not be "written".
Once I step through all of these, things settle down, and
applications seem to function correctly, with the exception of
Windows Explorer. When I display folders that contain photo image
files as thumbnails, these start to display, but several do not,
while others down the list do. I then get the same svchost.exe
Application Error every time.
No such problem with other applications that display thumbnail
images like Roxio and HP Premier and the problem doesn't seem to
occur in Explorer when displaying thumbnails for other Office
documents that are not photo image files.
I'm right up to date with all my Windows Updates and my history
suggests that there have not been any update failures since an
apparent successful install of SP3.
Any suggestions (be nice now!) on how to resolve this error would be
appreciated.
