computer locks up

[drew]

I've had a daily problem with 2000Pro ever since I
installed it about 1 month ago. My computer locks up and
the only thing I can do is re-boot. I get the following 2
messages in the Event Viewer/System Log whenever it crashes

1) The value named There was no Announce in the server's
Registry key LanmanServer\Parameters was invalid. The
value was ignored, and processing continued.

2) The ASPI32 service failed to start due to the following
error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I am not computer literate enough to understand what I
need to do to fix this problem or what is causing it. The
install was a clean install. If you need more nformation,
just ask. Thanks in advance for any help. drew
