I Just Re-Installed Vista and Host Process for Windows Services is crashing.

So I have been having some problems with my computer recently(too long to even try to explain), so I just did a fresh reinstall of Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit SP1 from the disk onto my Dell XPS computer to try and fix the problems. I wanted everything to be completely gone and start fresh, so I formatted the drive and it seemed like everything was off the computer.

So the minute after I reinstalled and windows booted up the desktop, I get a "Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed" message. Note that I had not done a single thing to the computer yet, so it should be fresh and clean just like out of the box(thats what my not-knowledgable enough brain thought anyway.) So how can there possibly be an error?

I went to the Event Viewer to see what the errors were, there was 1 in the System tab and 1 in the Application tab. Ill post them below.

I am willing and able to try anything and everything to fix this problem, and help is greatly appreciated.

This was the error in the System tab, under Source is said HttpEvent
The General section showed:
Unable to initialize the security package Kerberos for server side authentication. The data field contains the error number.

The Details section showed:

Let’s follow the methods provided below and check if it helps.


Method 1: Test the issue in Safe mode.

Check if you receive those error messages in Safe mode. Visit the link below to know how to boot the computer in Safe mode.
Start your computer in safe mode


Step 1: Perform Clean Boot.

If the error doesn’t appear in Safe mode, then put the computer into clean boot state and then try to eliminate the error.

To help troubleshoot error message, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows Vista or Windows 7

Please note: After the troubleshooting, make sure to boot your computer to normal mode by following the step 7.

Method 2: Run Online Scan and check.

A fast way to check for viruses is to use an online scanner, such as the Microsoft Safety Scanner. The scanner is a free online service that helps you identify and remove viruses, clean up your hard disk, and generally improve your computer's performance.

To run the Microsoft Safety Scanner:

a. Go to the Microsoft Safety Scanner webpage to download the scanner.

Microsoft Safety Scanner - Antivirus | Remove Spyware, Malware, Viruses Free

b. Click Download Now, and then follow the instructions on the screen.


Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.


Important: While performing scan on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.


Method 3:

Some people have had this issue with ATI Catalyst Control Center and found numerous errors in their event log. You can then try to find an update for the program or uninstall it if it is not needed. You might also have this problem with Windows Defender, so try to find an update for that.


Method 4: You might be having an issue with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Windows service. If you starting getting this message after you did a Windows update, then BITS could be the culprit. You’ll need to follow the instructions in this Microsoft KB article on how to repair the corrupt BITS files.


Method 5:
This could also be caused by a faulty RAM memory stick in your computer. You might want to run a full diagnostic on your computer to make sure your RAM does not have errors on it. If you find a memory chip with errors, take it out and see if you get the error message.

Ok, I have tried the things you listed, and here are the results.

Step 1: Safe Mode. After booting into Safe Mode, the problem did not persist while in safe mode.

Step 2: Clean Boot. After a clean boot, the problem was still there.
On the step in the clean boot where you "Hide All Microsoft Services" and then disable everything else, on my computer there is nothing else. After clicking "Hide all Microsoft Services" checkbox, there was nothing else listed under the Services tab. So, I am guessing that means it has to be one of the Microsoft services causing the problem.

Step 3. Run online scan and check. I ran the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and it found no problems at all.

Step 4. I do not have an ATI Catalyst Control Center on my computer.

Step 5: Fix for the BITS. I downloaded the file that is supposed to fix the BITS error, but when I try to install the file I get an error that says "A device attached to system is not functioning." So I cannot install it.

Step 6: Faulty RAM. I ran a full Memory Diagnostic and it found no problems.

Addiontal things.
Perform SFC scan. I ran a sfc/ scan and it found no problems at all.
I ran a chkdisk scan and it found no problems at all either.

Someone else suggested that I create a new user account. These were the results:

Ok, So I created a new User Account, and I made it a regular user, not an Admin. Logged in under in and the problem is not present on this User. So, I believe you are unto something with this corrupted user profile.

So then I went to the link to fix the corrupted user. It says you have to make a 3rd User Account and just transfer your files over to it(I have no files to transfer, this is just a bare computer). So I went to make a 3rd User, and I decided to make this one as an Administrator account. Logged in on the brand new User, and the problem is there again.

So on the 2 Admin accounts, the problem is there, and on the regular account, there is no error.

This is a headscratcher for sure, what could make the Admin stuff corrupted?

Do you have any other suggestions for things to try? Thanks for the help so far by the way.

Bump for desperation.

Can anybody think of anything that could be causing these problems?

Hate to think everybody is stumped on this(since I am way past stumped, but I am far from a computer expert.)
