after successful install

I successfully installed Vista Bld 5308. After I first log into windows, I get an error window saying "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed" then a blue screen. I can boot into safe mode and it doesn't crash.. Has anyone had this issue? Any fix? Thanks

That's the svchost.exe. I get that as well - make sure that your firewall is on, because even though it should be fixed in Vista, by not having the firewall on in XP caused the Blaster worm to wiggle in and cause the Generic Host Process for Win32 (svchost.exe) to crash and cause a restart.

My recommendation would be to reinstall build 5308 or upgrade to BETA 2 5384. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

I'll keep it short, Windows Defender is the problem on my machine it come inbuilt in Vista and I don;t know how to disable or delete it so i have these blue screen pop ups and the comp restarts every few minutes or hours. i had to roll back to xp and then i installed defender again and again the blue screen popped up, no i have uninstalled defender and so far it looks good. so my guess is defender is the problem. if anybody knows how to uninstall it or disable it permanently that would be helpful. HOPEFULLY THIS WOULD BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE
