PC keeps popping up new problems.
Everything was ok, bu now everytime I log in,
The display settings appear differently, IE pops up with a strange browser, after this norton shows an error which shows auto updates not installed, I fix this, and everything back to normal.

I try to go into windows security center and get this message:

Windows firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the windows firewall/ internet connection sharing(ICS) service?

Click yes but won't start it!

Thank You

Which programme are you running when you get the error

[joejobs]

It happens when I log in.
I know it is related to svchost.exe
I tried to reinstall svchost.exe from the XP cd using this thread in cmd:

CD-ROM drive:
cd i386
expand svchost.ex_ c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe

that did not work

Also ran that program that checks all dll files are working properly...forgot the cmd I used looked it up in the net. This did not work either.

so I just searched for it in the cd copied and pasted in to system32.

I reboot two times think it is working ok now. Although takes about ten times longer than usual to boot.....

[joejobs]

OK, there it is, the problem reapppeared at third boot.
Here is what happens.....
Log in.
Everything loads, but network connections(LAN) takes very long to load.
After it loads,
Norton shows Windows Auto updates not enabled.

Have tried all kinds of solutions.
Microsofts, ones on the web, reinstalled svchost.exe,...ipconfig....

please help

[joejobs]

Managed to solve the problem disabling ipv6.
About two weeks solving all these issues.....
Trying to make it go back to it's fast speed,
running somewhat slow.
Can you help me to make boot and system run faster and
more smoothly?

[Retired Tech]

Click start then run, type msconfig then press enter, click start up, disable all, click apply, reboot

Check if anything scans at boot

[joejobs]

By scan you mean the programs running according to Task Manager?
