I recently posted "Help ... my computer is acting weird ".

Come to find out I had about five different bugs, but that wasn't what was causing most of my troubles. Seems I had not updated Windows EVER since getting this computer nearly two years ago. So ... there's this "bug" in a file called svchost.exe that was eating up my memory. It eventually got so bad I that I only had about five minutes before the whole system essentially shut down. To say the least I must have rebooted about fifty times yesterday trying to download the new service packs. In all, about twenty-five updates.

Things seem fine now. But I can assure you, I will update more often and scan for viruses more often!

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice.
