I have already tried Bill Gates fix which is Microsoft's Hot fix that is more than 3 years old
Yes I have seen that also.
Look at my attachments so that you see what you need to click on and what we must see. What we have to know is the actual process that is causing the error. That is what I have clumsily outlined in the second attachement.

We need to know this because the 1st error notification box is just telling you that Generic Host Process for Win32 Services is having a problem. The Generic Host Process for Win32 is
Svchost.exe. If you look at the Windows XP process list in Task Manager , you will notice at several Svchost.exe processes: some running under the SYSTEM account (sometimes referred to as LocalSystem) and some running under two new service accounts: NETWORK SERVICE and LOCAL SERVICE. You may very well have more showing, that is ok. Svchost.exe. does exactly what the name implies, it HOSTS the services on the computer. So just this generic error won't tell us anything, we need to know the particulars of the specific error, that is why you have to look in the info and see what specific process or processes are causing the errors.
