Nothing posted screams of malware. It all sounds like a corrupted OS.

Are you using Win2K SP4 plus the post SP4 Rollup ?

yup, i came round to the same conclusion in the end. the pc is kinda
old after all, it's probably just reached it's limit. I figured i'd
ask anyway in case anyone had an alternate solution. oh well, i'll
just have to restore the entire os, but i can't do that till i get
hold of the ms office installation disk.(our disk has a large crack
running through it) Gotta dig out some other disks too.

thanks for all th help
