Hello,

I have a server that is giving me a fit. After I boot up the server shortly ( approximately 30 minutes) the server application that I have goes down and I have to reboot to get it up and running again. Once I reboot the server the following error comes up:

Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close

in the details error message it displays

Error Signature
szAppName: svchost.exe szAppVer: 5.2.3790.3959 szModName: unknown
szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset 001f1cb0

following files will be included in this error report:

c:\Temp\WER92ff.dir00\svchost.exe.mdmp
c:\Temp\WER92ff.dir00\appcompat.txt

I would appreachate anyone's thoughts on how to fix this.

Bob
