I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 running W2k, all updates are current.

I have to startup 3-4 times before it will run properly. Sometimes I will not be able to connect to the internet but the PC works ok - when that happens I run winsockxpfix and it gets me online.

Somehow it gets better the more I startup - but even when it is running it runs very slow – I do have 30% free space on my gard drive and have maxed out the RAM.

When I startup I get a popup that says svchost has created errors and will shutdown - I click ok and it goes away and while the mouse moves it will no longer activate any icons. If I ignore the popup I still have a mouse that will not activate an icon. So I do a control alt delete and all the icons disappear and then nothing happens – so I have to press and hold the start button to shutdown.

After going through this 3-5 times the PC starts up and runs but is slow – but is at least works.

I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance - I am not a PC pro - this is my first time using HJT.

Thanks a lot! Here is the HJT—-
