Win32 Services Error

thomas01155

I get this really annoying error saying genictic host process for windows had encountered a problem and needs to close. I have only started getting in the last week or so.
When i click don't send it stays normal for about 3 mins then it suddenly goes to windows classic style then back to normal but some stuff stays as windows classic. Then after that if I'm not doing something witch is playing music and then try to play music i get an error something about cant find something about something cant remember. But if I'm playing music the sound doesn't go until i close it.
Scaned with ad-aware ,spybot, avast, trendmicro online and axorax scanner and found nothing with all of them and i have run ccleaner.



Thanks

It might be that the ntdll.dll file has become corrupted. Go to Start, Run and type

sfc /scannow

This will run the system file checker. You might be asked for your installation disk.

Quite a comprehensive answer can be found here.

Those errors aren't related to the problem. Have you installed any new device driver software recently?

thomas01155

Nope haven't install any drivers

What about applications? Anything new since you started getting the error. You're running Vista right, check your startup file for 16 bit apps...

You may need to open your firewall for the time sync service - read here http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/43cda695-3113-4cff-a24a-f2ccca6ca4141033.mspx?mfr=true

If you have legit Vista and not XP in a skin - click the send message button.

PM me for my email, send a CSV export of your application log and i'll see if i can find the problem, it's got nothing to do with your time sync service.
Start -> type "eventvwr" then export the log as CSV
