This has only started today. Yet, I have not installed anything new
today...possibly an update?
Anyway, I am using my Windows Vista Home Premium Laptop (HP dv2058ea) and
suddenly a message pops up saying:
"Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed"
Clicking 'OK' results in some movement in the screen windows before these
changes:
- Tabs in IE7 look old style and all the address bar and search are stripped
of the Aero feel. The minimise and close section remains Aero. All web pages
use old style buttons.
- Microsoft Office 2003 looks like version '98 (as in like its running on
old PC not a XP/Vista) in that the coloured areas have gone.
- Windows Live Messenger chats get a full window with the old close/minimise
buttons.
Any ideas? From looking around I'm getting that this due to Windows Defender
which I believe was the last update that was downloaded. But nobody seems to
have a fix for it.
It's becoming rather annoying.
