I have this odd problem that keeps happening. I have windows 7 ultimate x64 installed. Under Windows Experience Index there is a link that says "View and print detailed performance and system Information" Anyways when i click that instead of getting a printout I get a error popup saying " could not create details page". Ive ran a sfc /scannow, no problems detected. When I update my scores everything runs fine. It used to work when I did a fresh reinstall about 2 weeks ago. But all of a sudden it doesn't now.

I’m really hoping to get some help here. Whenever I turn on my computer, it sticks out a damn message saying "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needed to close". It’s started to get on my nerves to say the least. I’m using windows XP. Some friends tell me that it’s a virus or a trojan. Could you please help me get rid of it.

I receive the above error message when I launch Task Scheduler every single time. There is an "OK" button but each time I click it, the window stays in place, however the error code changes from "e3196c0" to c320b9c0 and so on. The list continues. I can never go beyond this point. I visited my task scheduler for the first time to help with an error I'm receiving when my PC is on hibernate mode which states "Host Process for Windows Services Stopped Working and Was Closed". None of this is a nightmare, it's just annoying. It’s windows vista.
