Generic Host Process is actually svchost.exe.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056
Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

Malware can be the cause of the issue, too. Suggest you read KB314056 to determine if that is the case. If there is an instance of svchost which does not reveal a PID and/or a name under Services, then it's most likely malware.

I receive the following error when booting from a cold boot NOT just a re start.

I looked in services and could not find Win32 Services or Generic Host

How do I stop this error?
Thanks
