Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

I love Windows. I love it in that way like someone who was kidnapped has a strange connection to their captor. Microsoft’s new marketing campaign for Windows is:

“The Wow Starts Now”

- as in -

“Wow, I thought this software was annoying before but now I really found a new hatred for it.”

The joy of my last few days? This error message:

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services

 

It only appears when I really need to use the computer. Even then, it doesn’t completely cripple my system - it just makes things like FTP not function. So, I can still do normal browsing, salesforce.com, sugarcrm, wordpress, email, excel, word, powerpoint, etc.

Unfortunately when you close the dialog it hangs the system and you are not able to do a normal shutdown and then lots of other things stop working.
The solution? Don’t close it. Seriously. I just drag it off the side of the screen like so:

    On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
