Exclamation solved win32 generic host process

dear,
i have been encountering same problem. this svc host process.exe is seemingly trigerd by installing the microsoft dot net frame work 1.1. although it is required to install many programs but it is the BIG REASON for this message & many other problems i.e., after this messege the task bar resizes itself and internet is inaccessable, many operations are held and so on.
not even microsoft hotfix for this particularly svchost.exe work.
my suggestion is to uninstall this frame work, and reboot.
after reboot this message may come again but don't worry. cz this is due to privious windows settings.
now reboot for 2nd time and you will be free of worries.
Note: no other frame causes this problem only microsoft .net 1.1 is responsible for this.
PHP Code:
i didn't installed any antivirus, no malware no nothing
after uninstalling the startup userlogo will go away, which appears after the win XP LOGO after start up, either you have to click it.
it will be direct access to desktop,
HTML Code:
i hope you get me what i m trying to say
now many geeks are over there along with many gurus.
it's a hint for them to get this problem really solved

Hello, I tried to fix the problem, but it didn't work. I've detailed what I did below, please help!

Attempting to fix error: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a
problem and needs to close.

Followed steps from Microsoft Support
1.Click Start, click Run, and then type net stop wuauserv.
-executed this command without a problem
2.On the desktop, double-click My Computer, and then delete the drive:\WuTemp folder.
-Was unable to find the drive:\WuTemp folder, continued anyways
3.Click Start, click Run, and then type net stop cryptsvc.
-executed this command without a problem
4.Delete the drive:\Windows\System32\Catroot2 folder.
-found folder and deleted
5.Open the drive:\Windows folder, and then rename the SoftwareDistribution folder as SoftwareDistributionOLD.
-Was unable to find the SoftwareDistribution folder, continued anyways
6.Open the drive:\Windows\system32 folder, and then follow these steps:
a.Rename the Wuweb.dll file as Wuweb.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
b.Rename the Wuapi.dll file as Wuapi.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
c.Rename the Wuauclt.exe file as Wuauclt.exe.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
d.Rename the Wuaucpl.cpl file as Wuaucpl.cpl.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
e.Rename the Wuaueng1.dll file as Wuaueng1.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
f.Rename the Wuaueng.dll file as Wuaueng.dll.old.
-found and renamed successfully
g.Rename the Wuauserv.dll file as Wuauserv.dll.old.
-found and renamed successfully
h.Rename the Wucltui.dll file as Wucltui.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
i.Rename the Wups2.dll file as Wups2.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
j.Rename the Wups.dll file as Wups.dll.old.
-could not find this file in the folder
There were only two dll files that started in wu and they were renamed to name.dll.old
Furthermore, there were only two files of any kind that started in wu.

7.Restart the computer.

The error message wasn't displayed, but the internet still didn't work.

So I uninstalled Microsoft .NET 1.1 per mmd's suggestion.
As was mentioned the error message displayed the first time I rebooted, but not the second,
but the internet still doesn't work.

Any suggestions. . .
Thanks
