When this problem occurs may be a clue. Does it happen during the boot process, or does it seem to be a random event after you have been using it for awhile?

When did the problem start? Have you scanned for malware?

Does it only affect sound? That is, when you get the error and the sound stops, is that all that is affected? Can you keep on using the computer with no problems (except the sound)?

Some more information about your computer - brand an model, and version of Windows would be good too.

Hi, thanks for your help, the fault occurs at random when I been using the computer for a while, yes I have scanned for malware & yes I can still use the computer although it is without sound, cheers OS windows service pack 3, the computer is IBM NetVista

Well, it seems there are many models in the NetVista line.

Entering Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encountered a problem and needs to close into Google reveals many possible causes. Are there any errors in Device Manager?

When did the problem start?
