I am starting to get this latest little grey box out of nowhere...."win32 services has encountered a problem, this system must be shut down" Not word for word but close....it also contains a "send error report" "dont send error report" option....what the hell is happening to me, my system, MY SANITY???
One poster in a thread on the error message posted this response
------------
Unplug physical devices like USB printers, scanners, cameras, etc. to
figure out which driver is the culprit. I agree with Lyell, too... it
might be your anti-virus program.
Did you install anything new lately?
----------------
to get to the info you can type or paste
"win32 services has encountered a problem"
in the Google Groups search box

I was getting the same thing on my laptop last week, and when I did a virus scan, I had a worm and 2 viruses. Didn't seem to do much damage, just kept shutting the pc down.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You now have MS Blaster!! If you have Norton A/V & can get on line long enough to to do an update, You can fix it. Other wise you will probably have to take to a repair center have them clean it out. There are 2 important things that everyone should do. #1 keep you A/V updated. #2 Go to microsoft windows update & get the latest updates for your Windows. There are a ton of them for XP which is the weakest & most vulnerable of the Windows. The latest virus, Sobig will hit any Windows, from 95 on up to XP
