Hi I'm new here :)

Whenever I start up my DELL Inspiron 6000 laptop, I get the error message:

Windows cannot find: C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe.....

And when this pops up, the system 32 folder opens as well. I have read some of the threads on svchost on this site and they all mentioned HijackThis. I installed HJT and saved my log:
