Vista problems: 'Host process stopped working' AND many 'Pipe state invalid'

Try running the System File Checker. Go to Start and type "cmd" without the quotes, then right-click cmd.exe and choose "Run as Administrator". Once at the Command Prompt, type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes. You may need your Vista disc, though most of the time you don't.

Great thanks... that helped - cleaned up my registry and i can now run event viewer... but eek, it has registered SEVENTY ERRORS so far today (and a few warnings) how would i best go about sorting these out please?
