re: generic host problem fix!! Monday, August 11, 2003 at 1:44 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by John (3 messages posted) I got the same problem as all of u, dont know if u all managed to fix your machines, but i managed to fix mine. at first i thought the virus came through the Terminator 3 dvd rip i'd just downloaded and watched, but that's not where it came from. I remembered opening an e mail with msn messenger this morning.Big mistake, since mes messenger opens up the e mail directly, even if it's junk mail. It was a porn message, i deleted it, and logged right out. But i got the "generic host process for win32 services" error a few hours later as soon as i was connected. Think back, and try to figure out if this may have happenned to u. Anyway, the solution for windows xp and other oS is in: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2354406c-c5b6-44ac-9532-3de40f69c074&displaylang=en i downloaded it and installed it, restarted the machine, and, as i am writing to u, the problem went away. I know because it took me 20 restarts and about 2 hours just to read all of the posts on this forum, and now it's as smooth as ever.keep your fingers crossed!
