Gave it a shot and had this also one in i386 folder. Testing it out now to see if it works.So far so good, I am running scf /scannow now.
Time to go to work, I am going to keep the pc on and come check it on my luch break .Thanks so much for all the help. Hope this works!
update....I probably should have given up by now but I am still at it. I have been doing some research and in event viewer ycommon.exe was faulty so I deleted my at&t software( sure gonna miss it)
so far no more blue screens in normal mode but services.exe is still running 99% cpu usage which is causing me not to be able to do anything.
Services.exe using that much CPU time could be malware, or problems with anti-malware software.
Possibly useful link:

no virus or spyware found.disabling remote desktop.that didn't work either. What is next to try?
Check the size of the HOSTS file to see how many entries there are.
ok. now I am stuck. how do I locate hosts files in xp?
in search of an answer to my question I ran across this website
http://www.averyjparker.com/2009/07/...indows-xp-sp3/
in my event viewer all of my logs are 512.0kb except internet explorer which is 0. Do you think this could be the problem?
Host file background let us say.

Hope those help.
Thanks! I have 4 files with the name hosts in them
hosts.20091207-093942.backup, BACKUP File, 486 KB
HOSTS,file,815 KB
HOSTS.MVP, MVP file, 486 KB
lmhosts.sam, SAM file, 4KB
This is what else is listed all are files an 1 kb in size:
services
networks
protocol
The HOSTS file, with no extension is the one that can get filled with too much data. However, from those sizes, I'd say that it is probably not the problem.
even the HOSTS file listed at the top being 815kb ib size is probably ok?
You can rename the file and create a new one with the default contents (see link below). If you use Notepad to create a new file, remember that it will save it with a default extension of .txt which you will need to remove.

update...I thought I could fix my problem by re installing xp that when I ran into a problem and found this page
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Repai...s-t142645.html
did as instructed here and so far everything is back to normal except I don't know how to transfer files. I may have messed up but for the username on the second installation I used my name and my husbands name waas the username on the first installation. How do I transfer files? Did I mess up by changing usernames?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
problem not solved, new problem created !
