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

END OF LINE

funny that you happened to peg the os so exactly though :-S
