re: generic host problem Sunday, July 3, 2005 at 3:07 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Lou (1 messages posted) For me, this generic host problem only starts while a new 80gig External HD from CompUSA is connected. Power off the external drive and the problem stops. The problem does not cause the computer to shut down. I get the error message Generic Host Process for Win32 Services, etc. and it references svchost.exe and the dll file ntdll.dll (When the PC boots with the external drive turned on). The 2 things (that I've found so far) is that (1) when I right clik the speaker icon in my desktop tray, everything is grayed out and is not selectable and (2) when I open Norton System Works, it indicates that my "live update" function has been turned off. These are the only two things I have found so far. Again, if I power off the external HDD and reboot, the problem does not occur. I have virus scanned my system (including the files on the external drive, but find no problems). I still would love to find the resolution though, because this HDD which has been hooked up for about 1 month, and the problem only started occuring about 1 week ago. >This generic host problem only starts while a new HP All in One officejet is connected. >Disconnect the printer from the Dell 8400 computer and the problem stops. >The problem does not cause the computer to shut down as the Blaster worm will make >it do but the computer slows right down and minutes go by before it responds to a >command. >The printer will not print because this generic host comes up as soon as it is connected. >Drivers have been uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem keeps repeating.
