Last night when we go home...We started up our computer (XP) and once logged on, got a "send error report" message.  The problem was with "Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services"

It said 'This error OCCURRED on 7/28/2005 at 10:01:08 P.M.  However, the computer was shut down by the last user and the current time was 11:22.

Then it asked me to tell Microsoft about the problem...so I did...

It took me to OCA and said i needed an update...I did so, INSTALLED...and no more problem...

However...I am just wondering what might have happened, and what "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services" is.

Thanks... Networking it? yes/no!Nope...No network here...
