Some Window XP SP2 user might encounter Generic Host Process problem where it will pop up below messages and your system will be hang. I’ve reformat and reinstall a fresh window xp sp2 OS for my client’s PC, but still same problem occur

First, try to follow the instructions at Microsoft KB 931852 related to the Catroot2 folder. If it doesn’t fix your problem, try the following recipes, too.

Start/Run the command called regedit.exe (Registry editor). Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters and on the right side, double-click TransportBindName - press delete and give it an empty value. That will close port 445. Also, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE and change the value of EnableDCOM from Y to the value N - that will close port 135. If you know how, you may also disable NETbios. Restart the computer and the bug might be gone.
