Like many others I have been receiving Generic Host errors as well as some other errors on my XP system. My computer is completely up to date, and I have tried every fix I can find. I did have a virus but successfully deleted it. However this simply made my computer have less errors than before I removed the virus. Now my computer can be on for a few hours before I receive the Generic Host error. I personally made my computer and updated all the hardware last Christmas. The last thing I installed right before I began receiving the errors was Avast!. I seem to be having an issue that I have no seen other's mention in all the forums I've read. My system's graphics change in open folders and such. What I mean is that my scroll bar, borders, and buttons on the window will revert to what looks like windows 95 graphics? When I first began to get the errors my whole system seemed to do this. Now my taskbar remains in XP while everything else changes.

I am an artist and use my computer mostly for my work. If I open Photoshop or another art program my system will quickly tell me that my Visual Memory is low. I'm not sure if my graphics card is going bad that would be causing all of this?

I have done a system restore. Updated my system. Scanned like crazy for viruses and there's nothing. I have followed all the procedures on the Windows website, as well as a few other fixes I have found on the internet. I am at a loss here, and I really need to get back to work on my art as its how I make a living. Pleaseeeeeeeeee help 8|
