Which OS? Which sound card?
Something went wrong when you updated your drivers.
Were there any error messages when you updated your sound drivers?
Can you adjust volume on Windows 'mixer' (Control Panel-->Sounds and Multimedia --> Audio tab:Sound Playback:Volume)? If not then somehow you have maybe 'lost (control over)' windows kmixer.
If you got XP then try if reinstalling SP2 helps anything. Check also first, if "Audio Service" is running (on services manager).

  • Generic Host Process For Win32 Services Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close - J6480

    Computer: eMachines T3025 Athlon
    OS: Win XP SP3 (recent clean install)
    Printer: HP J6480 on wireless network
    Printer prints and scans fine wirelessly.   I am using the "small footprint" HP drivers to print and scan.
    After some hours with printer connected to the computer wirelessly and printing or scanning, I eventually get the 
    'Generic Host Process For Win32 Services Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close'  error message and cannot print or scan any longer unless I shutdown and restart Windows.
    I have implemented all the fixes (download, reinstall, etc.) listed for this printer on the hp.com site - namely
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00273968&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
    with the exception of changing the firewall setttings to allow hpqtra08.exe to run.  This file is not found on my system in my install.  The files that are allowed to bypass the firewall are shown below (duplicates listed as shown on my screen)

  • Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close

    Hi,
      I hv installed SAP ECC6.0 SR3 on WIndows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition. Many times i get an popup message on Windows Server "Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close"
    I hv checked the Event Viewer, in Event Viewer it shows the application error.
    Consequences of this error is that my Transport path //hostname/sapmnt/trans becomes inaccesible, and I have to take the restart of Windows server to solve the problem. ONce Windows server is restarted for some time transports work, Again when receiving the same error popup on Windows, Transport path goes down.
    Can anyone give input on this???

    Hello,
    You have posted a question that is related to system transports. Unfortunately this category is not related to these kind of questions. SAP TM deals with logistics in the real world - moving pallets, containers, loading trucks, etc.
    To learn more about SAP TM please visit http://service.sap.com/scm-tm
    Therefore I will now move this thread to the category Software Logistics. Thank you for your understanding.
    Kind regards,

  • Generic Host Process failure on battery boot

    When I boot on battery 'DEP'(data execution prevention) closes the Generic Host Process for Win32 Services.

    I'm not having the blue screen any longer but the Gen host problem is still there...

    Hi enos
    I am not sure if this forum is the right one for this kind of problems is. First of all it will be interesting to know which notebook model you have and if the SP2 was preinstalled on your unit.

  • Error message: Host process for windows services stopped

    I recently had to install a new hard drive into my laptop. I am running windows vista and have installed all updated drivers. After installing itunes and uploading my backed up library, I went to play a song and I got the error "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed." Movies play fine. I have searched but have not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Q I just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, the EVGA X58 SLi and i7 920, and this issue still persists! That means it is either the sound card or Steam. The drivers on the CD have no issues, only the newer ones do. So by deduction there is something wrong with the new drivers, but I need them to not BSOD in OpenAL!

  • A135-S4527 Host Process for Windows Services stopped...

    I have started getting a Windows error: Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed.  Laptop runs fine except my network connection says Connection Status: Unknown The service to detect this status is turned off and McAfee stopped working.  Can't run any of the MS tools either.  I am suspicous of conficker e but don't know how to detect or remove it.  Have seen the b variant on an XP machine at work, but the tools we used on it don't work on Vista.
    I am running Vista Home Edition (came on Laptop) upgraded to SP1 with auto-updates on.  McAfee was also set for auto-updates and nightly full scans, active e-mail and internet scanning.  No recent software downloads except for updates.
    Have been having the issue since about April 28.  Tried to restore but no dates exist past May 5.  Tried the F8 Startup recovery no problems found.  Have tried restarting services but they quickly stop again.  Uninstalled McAfee and tried AVG. It allowed defintion updates and I scanned all files.  No viruses, trojans or malware detected.
    Any suggestions?  I have a tasklstserv file I can copy and paste if it will help.

    That's a bad-sector event. At a command prompt (cmd.exe), run chkdsk /r.
       Event ID 7 Source Disk
    But it doesn't seem likely that's the cause of the message. When you get another one, note the time and check the Application and System logs for entries at that exact time.
    Thanks for the detailed information.
    What virus protection do you use?

  • I keep getting a popup that says"host process for window services has stopped"

    hp s5220f
    microsoft windows 7 home premium edeition (64 bit)
    I keep getting a popup window that says "host process for window services has stopped"
    How can I get rid of this?

    Hello tribefanz,
    Sounds like a compatiblity issue with a program and Windows 7. We need to find out what program is causing the issue though. We can do that through event viewer
    1. Click the start orb
    2. Select Control Panel
    3. System and Security
    4. Under Administrative Tools select the Event Viewer
    In the event viewer you will want to drill down into the Application and System logs and look for anything with a Red X that says Error. Identify the program causing the problem and then we can go from there.
    If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

  • Getting ipaddress or host name for virtual server

    I want to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server in a cluster environment. If i do
    java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
    it returns the ipaddress of the physical node currently running virtual server.
    Is there any way to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server ?

    You can get the hostname by clicking on the account properties in outlook, but the port you connect to must be opened by your system admin.

  • What is the process for SQL Server 2005 patch update

    hi,
    i have 2 production SQL Server2005  Database servers in cluster ,
    what is the process for applying patches.
    Saidireddy

    In 2005 you can do it in two ways...
    Method 1 :
    With SQL Server 2005,
    when you start installing cluster service pack (or hotfix), it must be launched on the active node(node
    that hosts the instance). When installing the Setup will launch simultaneously  "remote silence" on all passive nodes. All nodes in the cluster containing the SQL Server instance are updated in the same time.
    Method 2: First you can install in passive node then you can install in the active node, In this way you can save your down time ( If you start in the active node it will check in the passive, and if its installed already then it skips that
    and start applying in the active node ), but most of the DBA's follows only first method because they may not aware of this or just they follows Microsoft common method. 
    SQL 2008 and Later....
    1.  Apply the hotfix on pasive node N2
    2.  Reboot the passive node N2
    3.  Failover on SQL resource : the passive node become the active node
    4.  Apply the hotfix on the passive node N1
    5.  Reboot the passive node N1

  • Help go count hardware for oracle server

    Hi,
    I need to count hardware for Oracle server;
    users obout 10000 people at the same time.
    What memory(RAM) and proceesos frequens(MHz) should be?
    Where to find information about it?

    You should consider that if 10000 users will be concurrently in the database, and if at least 2m ram will be consumed by an oracle server process (just to start), then 20000mb ram will be required (at least) to support 10,000 oracle processes at the same time, about 20Gb for users, next, consider the amount of required SGA memory (not an exact value, as it depends on the database profile, DWH, OLTP, Hybrid). plus the processes for the regular OS operation.
    This is not a small application, have you thought about growth? You should be thinking about scaleability. May be not a huge machine, but a cluster of more affordable machines that will grow with your needs.
