I NEED HELP! Getting Generic Host Process error

[DarkCyber]

I left for lunch and came back and my pc had rebooted and was stuck on the Windows XP Pro splash screen.

Now my pc is giving me this error everytime I boot into Windows:

Generic Host Process Win32 error.

Anyone got any clue what might be causing this.

I changed out motherboards Monday, but my pc has been working fine. I had a Gigabyte K8NS Pro 754 board with the Nforce 3 chipset and I put in a Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 with the Nforce 3 chipset. So, really didn't change much...Windows detected the new board and all. The new board was OEM and I had no drivers. I did download the drivers from Gigabyte and installed them.

I also have a couple of errors showing up in the Device Manager. One is for my second printer and one is just called UNKNOWN.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Whenever I see that error, I pop my XP CD and run the sfc.exe with the /SCANNOW switch. Always seems to work.

Thanks! Will give it a try.

Running it now...fingers crossed.

I too have been having the same problem, and I'm not sure how to run sfc.exe with the /SCANNOW switch as you said. Could you please elaborate on how to do this?

Thanks
