Generic Host Process Error Message on Startup

I keep getting this error message on startup.

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to
close

Error Signature
szAppName : svchost.exe szAppVer : 0.0.0.0 szModName : unknown
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000

It doesn't seem to cause any problems but I'm wondering how I can get rid of
it. Any help advice would be most appreciated.

Thank you

John

 

The problem always happens? It has verifies if Outlook Express reproduces
when executing as another account with "Run as..."?

 

Cheers Zuani, I've found the answer on a forum using google.

Hello! You could write the link? Thanks.

 

I FOLLOWED THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the Windows Desktop, click Start, and then click Control Panel. The
control panel will open.

2. Double click the Administrative Tools Icon. The admisistrative tools
window will open.

3. Double click the the Service Icon. The Services window will open.

4. Double click the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) icon. The Windows Image
Acquisition (WIA) Properties (Local Machine( window will open.

5. On the General tab, click the drop down arrow in the Start up Type box
and select Disabled.

6. Click Stop. A window will open with a message stating the service is
being found. When the message closes, verify the ServiceStatus displays
Stoped. Repeat this step if necessary.

7. Click Apply, and then click OK.

This took care of the problem for me, so I hope it will work for you.

 

Thanks for the information. With this disabled service, your scanner works
well?

 

It does not concern the previous question: in my case, the trick does not
work and I continue with the error.
Many thanks in any case.

 

Hi Zuari

It worked for 2 days but I've just switched on and the error is back. Sorry
for the misinformation

Back to the drawing board

I have found the form to reproduce the error of "Generic Host for Process
Win32 Services" (Svchost.exe) in my computer voluntarily:
- Beginning session like Administrator, I connect myself to Internet, and I
consult my mail in the Outlook Express;
- I close the O.E.;
- always with the O.E., I consult the mail of a Limited account, with click
straight "Run As... " introducing name of account and password, and soon I
close the program;
- I disconnect of Internet, I extinguish the computer (or resumption), and
in the following session (or even in the two following ones at the most and
each one of them), appears the window informing that the mentioned error has
taken place.
I have proven if one reproduced with the Internet Explorer, and other two
programs of third, and not: at the moment I have only verified that the
error with "Run As..." it is generated with the O.E., connection to Internet
and executing the option to verify if there are new post office.
The errors that appear in the Viewfinder of Events are (not always all of
once): Incorrect deposit 07918338 Id. 1001; Svchost.exe Id.1004; Unknown Id.
1000; Userenv Id. 1517 "Windows kept the Registry from user x while an
application or service still was using the Registry during the session
closing, etc"; and Userenv Id. 1524 "Windows cannot unload its file of the
Registry of classes still is in use by other applications or services, etc".
I believe that now it would be necessary to try to delimit the scene: if it
happened before the updates of W.U. of February; if it happens to other
applications; if one reproduces in all the machines in which the previous
steps are followed or no, and, if not outside the case, to see what we have
in common those that yes we registered this error.
In my case, one is a XP Home SP2, graphic nVIDIA, ADSL Vitelcom modem, and
in the O.E. the option is not active in any account to initiate Windows
Messenger automatically.
no es la única forma de reproducir el error.
Técnicamente, por decirlo de alguna manera,. esta forma de reproducir el
error debe tener alguna validez, al menos como pista para encontrar la causa
primaria, pero yo no tengo conocimientos para ello. Habrá que continuar
indagando buscando el nexo entre las máquinas que lo sufren, o esperar que
alguien con conocimientos aporte luz o proponga algo.
It is not the only form to reproduce the error. Technically, to say it
somehow, this form to reproduce the error must have some validity, like
track to at least find the cause primary, but I do not have knowledge for
it. It will be necessary to continue investigating looking for the nexus
between the machines that undergo it, or to hope that somebody with
knowledge contributes light or proposes something.

 

er..... I'm lost with it all. Like you say, we need an expert to intervene.

Another possible track:
- with aid of the Autoruns de Sysinternals
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/autoruns.shtml from a session
initiated like administrator, I stop the services Audio of Windows
(AudioSrv) and Server (Lanmanserver), and like consequence, in the next
start it appears the warning of error "Generic Host Process for Win32
Services" (Svchost.exe Id. 1004 already detailed).
- directly from Windows (start -> run -> services.msc), I next stop first
and cancel services above-mentioned both Audio and Server. Next and with
connection to Internet I open the Outlook Express by means of "Run as..."
introducing the data of a limited account and consult if there are new
emails. As it was explained in post previous, always gives back the error of
"Generic Host for Process Win32 Services" at the start in the following
session, after executing the O.E. of the form now indicated and with the
configuration of the services by defect; nevertheless, in this case with
these two cancel services, no longer the error reproduces (after the test,
logically I return to leave the services with its original configuration).
The question continues being the same one but I hope that a little more
fugitive: as what we have in common in our machines that in certain
reproducibles actions, enter conflict with AudioSrv and Lanmanserver?
Personally I do not have a clear idea of hard or software that has more
possibilities of being the cause, so there will be to continue inquiring and
testing, and in special, if a participant of the Group thinks more that she
can center the suspicions before something directly related.
Greetings.

 

Eh?
