I had an error with WinXP Pro that said “win32 host had to shut down, please send this error to Microsoft”. Seems like there was a corruption error in the Windows system. I finally decided to re-load windows, which I didn’t want to do as I would lose all. I discovered during the windows load from CD that there were two options, to re-load windows or to “fix” a currently installed system. I chose to fix and the system commenced to provide a progress bar on my screen. When the “fix” was finished, I re-booted and all worked fine. Not knowing the internal workings of the load process, I am curious to what the windows system does to “fix” the system. If anyone has an understanding of this process, please let me know. Thanks, Sid Kraft
