I uninstalled five or six games I no longer played. When I rebooted, system would not boot. Said that hal.dll was corrupt.
Ran a chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, and then used the CD to repair my OS (XP MCE 2005 on a Dell Dimension C521)
Then ran a registry scan and repair, and a registry defrag (TuneUp Utilities) and the system seemed almost normal.
But then I noticed that every few minutes explorer.exe would crash out, sometimes just restarting, sometimes giving me an error dialog with the option of debug/close, (my MDM service is disabled so debug just locks it up, and then I have to use my Process Explorer to close and restart Explorer) and then restarting.
So I then did an sfc /scannow, and it replaced a few files... ran windows update... no change.
I checked the event log, and here's what it says about the crash:

I have since run scans with my Kaspersky Internet Security, and my Spyware Doctor (both fully updated) and found nothing but a couple small java trojans that I removed. I then ran CleanUp! and had it remove all the temp stuff just as a last ditch, and to no avail... I still get the crashes repeatedly. I'm getting good enough now to work around them for the most part but if I have to go more than one or two clicks down in folders to get at something explorer will often crash before I can get there.

Thanks!
