Generic Host Process For Win32 Services Error Started by jnulu , Jan 26 2009 01:18 PM Please log in to reply 8 replies to this topic #1 jnulu jnulu Members 35 posts OFFLINE Gender:Male Local time:10:38 PM Posted 26 January 2009 - 01:18 PM Hi! Each time I start the computer, I get an error message that says "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered an error and needs to close" Even so, everything looks fine - except the sound from my speakers completely stop. I can't hear anything from the PC's speakers. For example, I can see a movie DVD from my installed DVD ROM, but can't hear anything. I have googled for this problem and amazed by the number of people affected. But looks like each problem is different. Nevertheless, I have tried some solutions offered by those affected. * Disable automatic updates from Microsoft, * Use 'FirewallLeakTester' to close ports 135, 137 and 445. * Download and run Microsofts' recommended Hot fixes,
