I've been getting an error message that started just in the last two or three days. I get one of those boxes that pop up when a program crashes asking me if I'd like to send an error report to Microsoft. The process which is crashing is called "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services". I know that this is one of the svchost processes, and I understand roughly what those are for, but what might be causing this problem? It's never happened before, but the last two days or so it's been quite frequent, and doesn't seem limited to any specific action on my part. It's happened a couple of times while I was browsing the internet, a couple of times while I was in Windows Media Player, and a few times while in other programs. It doesn't seem to disrupt anything, but it's making me nervous that something more serious might be wrong. Any ideas? BTW: I'm running Windows XP Home SP1.
