Computer wouldn't boot to Windows, throwing error:Code: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<Windows root>system32hal.dll.Please re-install a copy of the above file."Found generic instructions for help on the internet.Used recovery console to bootcfg /rebuild
That helped me boot up back into Windows, but as windows logs on I have an error "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop" does not exist,it most certainly does exist) or something similar, obviously lagging the load of explorer.exe and resulting in a blank desktop other than default items.
I have trend micro protecting win xp. This generic host process is trying to connect out or in, i dont know but if i tighten the firewall up, and ask Trend micro to warn me about all connections, that generic process goes at it like 14 times. Ive tried to look up for myself, but i haven't find info. My questions are what are these process'?can i find out why it wants to connect to the internet?ust how many times does my computer actually need to send connection to the internet?
I just installed server 2000 on my machine. I was wondering if someone could tell where I could get instructions on how to use the software. I would like to setup a server so that my brother-in-law can access my server from maryland obviously through the internet.
I need instructions how to set up the software etc.
my OS is windows xp home. when I defrag, the system freezes up and I have to shut down via the surge protector. I contacted Dell but ended up going around in circles with them. The best that I can gather is that I have a corrupt file somewhere. I want to try a repair reinstall. my question is, do I have to set the Bios to boot from the CD drive, or can I simply put in the Reinstallation CD and follow the instructions?
I would like step by step directions on how to do this. I only have to do this for the one laptop, we purchased Recovery Disks for the Dell and HP Pavilion laptops. My wife didn't think about this when purchasing it for Christmas. I am not worried about the other programs that he has in it. Just wanted to make Recovery disk for Windows XP for that system only.
clicks on the internet it states that the page could not be found, please go to internet options etc clear cookies. We do all this but it doesn't seem to work, the only thing that works is turning the machine off and restarting it. I rang Dell and Tiscali, neither have been able to help, the computer sends and recieves all 4 packets, they have disconnected the internet connection and reinstalled it, they said they were going to test the line and ring us back but this never happened. I am a complete novice with computers and my mum knows even less
Does anyone know of a site that has complete instructions to SlipStream Win XP Pro and SP2. I have found a couple of sites however the process does not work. I need a step by step that will let me burn a bootable CD.

it found the virus on the F hdd which u guys know its not the main one ...it was(virus) found on a folder i can't even see i have the "show hidden folders" on so why can't i see those folders ? i am more worried about that than the virus since my software found it im okay with it lol but i just reinstalled my os and i get a virus found on a folder i didn't know xcisted wtfuge ! ! and i have folder that are just named kinda like this "5e56dc46768be0474974c759ab4690" on some hdd any ideas? oh and i can't erase them why?
Out of nowhere in the C drive come these folders. They are named FOUND.000 on up through FOUND.025. Inside the folders are various numbers of files that are named in this way FILE0000.CHK, FILE0001.CHK, FILE0002.CHK. what are they and what should I do?
I got 2 Trojans on both of my computers, both computers are ASUS (Custom built) running XP Home SP3, IE6 with Bose Speakers... AVG associates the sound driver with the trojans, which I don't understand... The first step would obviously be to delete the sound driver and install a new one, but I don't know of a TRUSTED site.
I was given a Toshiba notebook and only told it doesn't work. It will boot into XP but all of the non system icons have the same generic icon. Non of the icons work (nothing happens when you click on them). Basically can't get into anything. Trying to run system restore from Run brings up the no program associated with this file message. Safe mode is the same and Last Good Config was also the same. I tried running system restore from Safe Mode with command prompt using %systemroot%system32estore strui.exe. which brings up an empty system restore box. Although it looks like it came with a XP CD, all that I have is a restore CD. One other thing that bothers me is that about once a minute what sounds like the system fan goes on for about 10 seconds. I don't mind using the restore CD(it's not my laptop or info that will be erased), but I would like to avoid that if possible.
i have a "generic host process for win32 services" error after i've connected to internet with adsl usb modem.and my connection is lost till i shutdown and restart.i tried lots of things, do a google search but couldn't solve.when i restart the computer and do not dial for internet, no error occurs. but when i dial and start to surf or download something it gives this error at different times. sometimes the error occurs 10 minutes later sometimes 1 hour later.when i dal to the internet my network connection icon(near the time in the lower right corner) says limited connection or there's no connection. i think that's beacuse it cannot receive ip from my ISP.how can i solve this limited connection problem?i removed the drivers installed again, removed the drivers and installed the old ones.do a virus scan with latest updatesdo a system restore but nothig changes.
I'm still having a Generic Host Process (or something) error on startup. It then says the error is something to do with svchost.exe in: I looked there and deleted the directory as there was nothing in the folder.
I know the standard file association procedure, and yes I searched this forum first. (and MS) which wasn't helpful, so here goes: once you open the context menu on a generic icon and browse the 'open with' list, you HAVE to make sure to uncheck the 'always open with' checkbox or your next association will be forever linked. you can change it, but only to a specified app. I want to switch the association back to generic. I don't want the file to be associated with anything. problem is, there is no 'restore' option on my newly associated icon (there should be). For example, if I switch the file association AGAIN, I will see restore button. But I can't restore to it's OG generic icon.
There MUST be a sticky somewhere on defeating this incredibly annoying XP bug.Once plugged in, I cannot dismount any USB storage device without system shutdown, ever.
I just turned on my machine this morning (9/9/2005) and "Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close. This error occurred on 8/4/2005 at 12:05:50am" I followed a link to MS site and downloaded a 'fix' for this. But why would this show up 36 days after it happened?
I have an outboard USB soundcard works fine with the generic drives on XP. However When I 1st tried to install it. I messed up on the install of the real drivers for the USB soundcard. These drivers have to be associated directly with the card on 1st try install because there is no auto loader for USB soundcard. I hit ok, at the wrong time, somewhere in the process. And now XP wont let me search for the drivers whenever I try to reinstall them by using plug and play

i really dont know what went wrong. i have my nod32 always on.. but still seems like some bug has entered my pc.everything was ok. but i thought about scanning pc using spybot.it found some problems. and i deleted files using spybot.every time that error will come and my internet wont work after that. i cannot even open network connection after that error. all that i can do is restart the pc. but error became very very frequent.so, i used recovery tool for spybot and recovered all deleted files but it error still remained.so, i decided to reinstall windows. just reformatted my C drive and the error still remains.
I have a huge problem with my computer. After logging onto windows, or just browsing online for a few minutes, I get the following error:"Generic Host Process has encountered a problem and needs to close". Whenever that happens, I can't browse the Internet anymore, nor can I access any network services. I have to restart my computer every time I get that error message.
I have tried a system restore and that does not help. I have also found that I can now not see other computers on my network or even route to them. In addition Messenger Live will not log in any longer. They system could be messed up as I was shutting down last night it wanted to do some updates - I let it but this moring it still had the don't shut down screen on after 8 hours of sitting there I shut it down!
I recently got a virus on it and reinstalled xp. Now all the games I used to play on it are coming up with directx errors. When I looked at the errors in the diagnostic tool it tells me I am using generic drivers. So I popped my driver disk in and installed them all but it still gave me the same error. So I reinstalled directx 9.0 with no fix. I understand that this thing is a beast and I should just stop using it but, it is the only pc I want to clutter up with old games and stuff. And I know it is compatible because I used to play these games before.
