host process for windows services has stopped working

Trololol · Dec 23, 2012

Hi! I was following instructions from the "how to protect yourself from malware" thread and while doing #9, where I had to install the update (as I've already posted in the Malware forum but the logs were clean), I found out I couldn't as I end up getting the "host process for windows services has stopped working" message and it seems to be related to Windows update. I've actually had this problem for quite some time but have just ignored it instead. Every time I start up my laptop I get the error message twice after a few minutes and the taskbar also goes all weird as if it's trying to change to a Windows 98 type of taskbar. Any assistance to resolve this would be appreciated.

How to Fix "Host process for windows services stopped working"

This error seems to happen due to some incompatibility between a program on your computer and Windows Vista. It could be a
lot of different applications, so you first have to determine which program is actually causing the problem. You can do
this by viewing the Event Logs on your Vista machine. Here’s how.
:
:
Now you’ll want to browse through the Windows Logs folder and view the Application and System logs.

You should now look for events with red X’s next to them and that have the word Error. Look for them around the same time
or before you got the “Host process for Windows stopped working” error message.
