I've been struggling with a persistent and worsening "Generic Host" problem too.
Finally, I gave up and reinstalled Windows from scratch. I reinstalled software
one by one, and sure enough, I got the DEP errors again, right after installing my
very new HP 7410 All-in-One printer/fax/scanner, hooked up via ethernet.
I suspect this isn't the problem for most people, becasue the product is newish,
and I suspect most don't have networked printers/scanners. But, at least in my case,
the problem is not only for OLD HP drivers. I've been using this printer a few weeks
before the blowup too, so I'm not sure what causes the crash party to get started.
HP provides a "Critical update for network installed HP All-in-One devices" on their
website, dated Jan 2005. Description is here:
Resolves network performance issues when an HP All-in-One device is installed. If
you have experienced a DEP (Data Execution Prevention) error, you may see more DEP
errors during reboot until the patch takes effect. The first DEP error may have
happened hours before. Successive DEP errors will occur in real time until the patch
is fully installed.
