Randomly when I'm using my computer with Vista 64-bit, an error message comes up with ""Host Process for Windows has stopped working correctly and had to be ended [closed?]." Sometimes, I don't notice any actual consequence arising from this message. Unfortunately, other times my sound stops working altogether and I have to restart the computer to get it to work again.

I haven't really done anything much with this new computer other than install Norton Antivirus and a few games (but I've been behind a firewall whenever I play those games online). Could someone help me get this sorted out? Thanks a lot!
