Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

[Charles Redfearn]

Hey all,

I'm having a problem and I'm hoping that someone can give
me some insite into how to solve this problem. Earlier
today, all of a sudden 2 different machine in my office
begin to shut themselves down. The error message that
suddenly appeared is "Generic Host Process for Win32
Services encountered a problem and need to close." Then
a box saying the Remote Porcedure Code (?)experienced a
problem and had to shut down. The machine then begins to
count down to shutting itself down.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Charles
