Hi

I keep getting an error message that I do not know how to resolve 'generic
host process for win32 services services'. The error appears just after
start-up and after closing down the error messages a number of times, stops.
In the error log, the following logs are repeatedly displayed.

The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service terminated unexpectedly

The server {A1F4E726-8CF1-11D1-BF92-00600 81ED811} did not register with
DCOM within the required timeout.

Faulting application svchost.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, faulting module
unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x009996bc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Bob

Unless you're using a scanner or a camera don't worry about the Windows
Image Acquisition (WIA) service.
