You might try a little systematic troubleshooting.. Check your event viewer
to see what is actually causing the problem. Once you have a good idea of
what is happening, try posting to the Xp newsgroup,
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.general".

Stupid answer by someone with out a clue!

Sounds symptomatic of the Blaster worm. If you're not patched, you
may have been infected as soon as you connected to the Internet. Go
here to see all the latest security threats:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/. Go here
(http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/security/default.asp) to check for
the latest updates and patches. Then go here
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html)
to download and use Symantec's Blaster Removal Tool (it's free).

Hopefully I'm wrong, but if I'm not and you're infected, there's hope.
Good luck!
