GENERIC HOST PROBLEM ON XP-HELP!! 1

[mingyar]

Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded a machine from Win 98 to Win XP Home. The installation went through fine. However, after the installation was done I started getting an error message when connected to the internet. The message read something like "Generic Host Problem...your system will be shut down.." the it gave me a minute before shutting down. I tried it several times and got the same result. Any ideas on what this means and how to fix it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Let's all go back to WFWG 3.11 and DOS since most of the worms and viruses like 32bit NT'ish systems.



Haha, just kidding!

bcastner,
I tried what you said and I think it worked fine. I found the files on my processes and registry and removed them. I didn't get the problem again once I followed your suggestions. Hopefully everything will remain working fine.

Thanks a lot!!!!
