I purchased Microsoft XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (OEM)from one of
one of Microsoft Gold Certified Partners in Chennai, India and installed the
same in my system on 07-09-2006, registered the product and activated the
same. Since there was some problem like memory dumping the windows was
repaired making use of the OEM CD. Now the problem is during booting the
following messages appears:

“Generic Host Process for Win32 Services
Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services has encountered a problem and needs
to close. We are sorry to for the inconvenience.â€

“Error: "The instruction at 0x7C918 fea" referenced memory at '0x00000010'.
The memory could not be 'written'. Click OK to terminate the program or Click
Cancel to debug the program.â€
I searched the knowledge base of your website. Could not fine solution.
No result matching my question.

Though my harddisk is making noise there is no problem except lethargic
functioning.

Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic- both Standard and Extended tests. No errors
found.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem.

That is likely because the Generic servicehost process is just that - a
generic host container to run services - you will see these in task manager
as "svchost.exe", and they run Microsoft and non-Microsoft code (anyone can
run their code in a svchost.exe process if they choose to do so in their
program). Unfortunately, the memory addresses you are reporting are of no
value without an actual dump file generated of the svchost.exe process, so
we can see exactly what is loaded at those memory addresses in the error
message.

I would strongly suggest running msconfig and disabling all non-Microsoft
startup items and all non-Microsoft services and reboot the machine. If the
problem recurs, the only sure-fire way to figure out the culprit is to
install userdump.exe, configure it to dump the svchost.exe process when it
terminates, and debug the .dmp file(s) that will be generated to get a look
at the stack of the process and determine the failing component.
