Hi

Not an urgent enquiry, more just curiosity, a couple of XP boxes i`ve been
working with lately have both had this issue. When starting windows XP,
sometimes, but not always, they immediatley get the message "generic host
processes for Win32 has encountered an error and has to close." Closing it
does not seem to degrade windows in any way, but its a little strange. Both
machines were running SP2. Any ideas?

I have had the same problem. Microsoft is aware of it and is working on a
fix for release at a later date. It shouldn't cause any problems.
