I did Method 2. The first time it didn't work. Then I turned off my System Restore and did Method 2 again. Since then my PC has been running 24 hrs without that annoying message "Generic host win32....etc." I am keeping my fingers crossed it won't come back again

Just a note to say that since I wrote 4 days ago, the problem has not come back. I do not see that annoying "Generic host process for win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close..." message any more. I am very grateful and hope more people with the same problem will read this page and solve their problem same as I did.

Jimmy, I can't understand your problem.

So, far I can tell you that you can restart your computer and I think it will be solved. If you don't explore, then I think it's might be another type of problem. Plz tell me details, I will try to solve.

Jimmy  says:

My computer was connected point to point to my laptop. After I use the bat file, I can't open shared folder on my laptop. My computer can ping laptop address & get reply. I did not understand your bat file, but I think it disable my computer to open shared folder. Can you make program to restore the setting? Thx

Jimmy, if you have still in troubles then you might get all things back by restoring your computer. To restore your computer, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Then select the restore point and then restore. You will get your Windows in the previous conditions.

Running the batch file solves the Generic Host Process error, BUT it then hampers the connectivity to the Local LAN.The local LAN becomes inaccessible. Kindly revert if there is anyway we can reverse this batch file other than using system restore?

Great! My problem with "Generic Host Process" is gone...

THANKS TO YOU!

NOW I CANT ACCESS ANY SHARED FOLDER ON MY NETWORK...

SYSTEM RESTORED IS TURNED OFF... IM DOOMED!

THANKS TO YOU!

JIMJIM  says:
2 months ago

Natz, don't worry. There is a workaround if your system restore is turned off. Do the following

1)Back up your registry

2)Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netbt\parameters\TransportBindName - REG_SZ. The value should be empty.Change it to \device\

3)Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLE\EnableDCOM- REG_SZ and replace "N" with "Y".

4)Restart your PC and you should be able to connect.
