[Closed] Generic Host Failure

Generic Host Failure, error stems from my svchost.exe.mmodpt (Something like that) and something like acrobat.mmodpt. I cannot say for sure, not the best at remembering. But none the less, I looked through an old failure file like mine, and found that I should use OST to sniff out the problem, so I also have the log from the OST Scan. I appreciate any help.

Hi,

Please do the following:


Start OTS
Copy/Paste the information inside the quotebox below into the panel where it says "Paste fix here" and then click the Run Fix button.

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup either telling you that it is finished, or that a reboot is needed to complete the fix. If the fix is complete, click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix. Post that log back here in your next reply.

If a reboot is required, click the "Yes" button to reboot the machine. After the reboot, OTS will finish moving any files that could not be moved during the fix and NotePad will open with the final results at that time. Post that log back here in your next reply.
