Every day the same error message

Morning

Once again as I booted up my desktop I got an error message from MS Windows saying 'Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available.'

Seems to come from Data Excecution...

Does this need any attention other than my usual response which is to close the box?

Running Vista still.

Thanks

    if you could post all of the error message (removing any personal references). That might help with the replies. Alternately, put the whole error message into a google search and see what that trawls up

    What options do you have when you tap F8 on bootup?
  • If you google the error message, you'll find loads of suggestions.
