hey,

i keep getting errors from "messenger service" saying that my registry is corrupt. and to visit a number of websites to download programs. but the programs i have to pay for. i've reinstalled windows xp (which im on) but the errors seem to still some up. I also have at least 4 "svchost.exe" processes running in my tasks.

here is what one of these typical error messages look like.



i've also installed a number of programs including spybot, AVG free edition.And the LiveUpdate part of my norton systemworks doesn't seem to want to install

just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. or maybe can help?

cheers
