When window loads up it brings up this error:

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close.

It doesn't come up everytime i turn on my computer, but out of every 3 or 4 boot it brings this error. Now i'm getting annoyed with it!

Looking at the data error report it shows this:

Error signature ----
szAppName : svchost.exe szAppVer : 0.0.0.0 szModName : unknown
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000

thanks for any help

What does the event viewer say ? Any errors there ?

Most likely this can be caused by a worm that trys to attack ur PC on port 137/139.

Which Servicepack is installed on your system ?

U don´t happen to use an old HP printer or scanner ?

No printer or scanner!!

I'm using WinXP Home Service Pack 2 (Updated) and PC-Cillin 2002 (Updated)

Aight, what about the eventviewer ? Does it show up any errors ?

sorry mate i already closed the error window! i'll have to reboot ... and hope the error comes up again!

is there a way of viewing all these errors! like a windows error log or something?

cheers

Yepp, thats the EventViewer.

To be found in Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - EventViewer
There u will find any erros logged during boot into windows. Just have a look and let me know of any error messages in there
