Generic Host Process error

Up until August I had my machine set up to run auto updates. I started
getting "Generic Host Processing errors after an update failed to complete.
The Update log listed it failed on installing the Security update KB922616.
After that point, I would get a Generic Host Process error whenever the PC
would start up. I killed (disabled) "Auto Updates", so I could continue
using my machine, but would like to get the problem resolved. I found
knowledge base item KB894391 addresses an issue that might cause a generic
host process error, but the install didn't take care of the problem.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and knows of a solution?
Is there a better place to be posing this question?
Is there a place to pickup the updates manually - e.g., without "Auto
Updates" being involved?

Any help would be appreciated.

Please look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Warning and Error Reports and post copies here.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.
Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the
message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report.
Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.


Hope this helps.
