711229 2008-10-10 11:35:00 I sometimes receive a 'generic win32 host has encountered an error and needs to close' window while connected to the internet. When I click Don't send my net conn stops. It doesn't disconnect though. I am on dial-up. Any ideas why? sammo450 (13626)
711230 2008-10-10 17:13:00 Have you scanned your system with a virus scanner?

Is SP1 or 2 installed, if youre using XP?

711231 2008-10-11 12:40:00 No I haven't. It's SP2. I'll update the virus DB (avg free) and give it a scan. sammo450 (13626)
711232 2008-10-13 07:43:00 Heres an error message from eventvwr - Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module netapi32.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x0000a3c0. sammo450 (13626)

711234 2008-10-13 08:07:00 Hmm it could be corrupt, why its crashing

Have you got a cd with SP2 on it or slipstreamed on cd??

You could update to SP3, which may fix it, but that'll take a while to get on dialup.

Are u in NZ or somewhere else?

711235 2008-10-13 19:22:00 Yeah Nelson. I can get SP3 off a friend I'd say. SP2 was in the XP install. sammo450 (13626)
711236 2008-10-13 19:46:00 What you could try is

Put the XP cd in

Open a command prompt

CD to the cd (if the cd is D, type d: )

Then type cd I386

Then type expand netapi32.dl_ C:\windows\system32\netapi32.dll

If it says it exists overwrite it. Say yes to copy it to this folder. Then reboot

If you still need sp3 at the weekend PM me and I will run you off a copy I'm in Nelson, just I'm working away and will not be back in Nelson until Friday eve
