ActiveX Update Installation Error - Generic Host Process

System: Windows XP Pro SP2 1.5 G Memory

Whenever Windows tries to install the ActiveX update software for checking
for the latest updates I receive the following error.

Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs
to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

When this occurs which happens everytime I have my laptop running it hangs
the system. The system will not shut down or restart and the only way out is
to hard reset the system.

Does anyone have any ideas?
