plz help i keep getting a message saying Generic Host Process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have to restart my pc to get internet back on but it only stays on for so long then does the same thing again, any ideas plz

Hi

Bad news I'm afraid. You have an unstable computer which is in the process of losing address of the system files. Experience has taught me that the only sure cure for problems of that type is :-

• Back the computer up ASAP making sure you have an off machine copy of everything you can't afford to lose.
  If you know how, run a physical check on your RAM, Hard Drive and processor. If not get the machine to someone who does
  If the hardware is OK - Run a THOROUGH virus check preferably from DOS
  If you are not infected - Run Windows setup in repair mode

If you are happy taking the cover off your machine and getting stuck in then have a go. If not, get help fast before the machine falls over and you lose your precious data

Hope this helps
