Looks better. Any more crashing problems since?

If your computer is now functional please follow below

I didn't notice an active firewall or Virus scanner on your system.

A decent firewall for XP is Zonealarm which you can get from HERE

Well, ive stil get usbport.sys blue screen.....

It doesnt seem that much different really, its seems a bit worse? Like its got sluggish
 
Its alot wose

Im getting alot more usbport.sys, when as before you used to be when I just tryed to run a macro. Now its alot...im looking at pictures, on the web, it just comes up.

Also, other blue screens come up...smaller ones without a .sys file at the bottom.

Sometimes it takes about 7 attempts to get the pc workling as when the desktop loads...blue screen.

and when it does come on, ive got 2 messages saying

"The ntvdm cpu has encountered an illegal instruction"

also, the pc is acting very sluggish

:(
 
ok, its not in my windows directory, and its not running as a service anymore??

but is all this causing usbport.sys? thats what i reallly need to sort out, as i cant run some programes without it bluescreening...... and they are important.

Cheers
