Having this extremely frustrating problem with my PC, and no luck with fixing thus far.

My mother had just moved my computer from one room to another so I wrote it off as some setting that was likely accidentally changed somehow.

I'd have to reboot in order to play the file. Finally last night after another 2 days of sound problems, my computer froze. I forced it off, and it froze again on

Posted on 2007-08-12 Components Windows XP 1 Verified Solution 13 Comments 2,285 Views Last Modified: generic host 2013-11-09 I am using a PC with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, which has as audio device, Realtek HD . All my drivers are up-to-date. I have a serious a problem few minutes after booting Windows, an error message appears saying "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience . After this happening, my audio device dies completely generic host error (computer has no sound; in Control Panel => Sounds and Audio Devices says No audio device found ; many applications refuse to run because no audio devices detected! ). Please note that while such error messages does not appear (few minutes after booting), everything is OK. And I can tell you even more if I open an application that obligatory needs an audio device, before such error appears, the applications continues to work well (with sound) even after such error appears and so no sound (except for applications opened before error appearance).

consequently, there can also be many sources of the error. You have to investigate a bit... Update from February-March 2007: First, try to follow the instructions at Microsoft KB 931852 related to Windows Update and the Catroot2 folder. If it doesn't fix your problem, try the following recipes, too. Update from January 2007: Start/Run the command called regedit.exe (Registry editor). Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters and on the right side, double-click TransportBindName - press delete and give it an empty value. That will close port 445. Also, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE and change the value of EnableDCOM from Y to the value N - that will close port 135. If you know how, you may also disable NETbios. Restart the computer and the bug might be gone. Update: the most efficient way to fix the error in most cases is to install the update offered on this Microsoft page even though this page doesn't explicitly mention the error: choose the update for your correct operating system. It works for 50% of users. Are you among them? Let us know by clicking "fast comments" at the end of the article. Another hope: Also, 25% of the users can fix the bug by: turning off automatic updates in the Control Panel; going to update.microsoft.com; manually installing the updates there; rebooting. You can turn on the automatic updates again and pray. If it doesn't fix the problem but you think you have a problem with svchost.exe and Windows Update - e.g. you're getting an access violation error and/or svchost.exe eats 100% of your CPU time - install KB 927891, to be released as a standard update in May or June 2007. If you add this patch, you should also manually update to the update client WSUS 3.0 and pray. Original text from 2006: Everyone who has recently encountered the Windows XP error Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close should know that this problem with svchost.exe (an executable file that is started to run all kinds of processes that depend on dynamically linked libraries) went away as soon as I updated the drivers for the Hewlett-Packard printers and scanners. Update May 2007: If your generic host process error is related to Hewlett-Packard drivers, a solution is also exp
