Win 2000 Issues

[Nate]

Anyone,

I have Windows 2000 Pro. Everytime after I boot up and log on, after the
windows 2000 pro loading process, windows explorer keeps blinking. The
whole desktop along with icons and background flickers and rolls over and
over. Under tasks, the task showing explorer keeps on going away and
reappearing while above happens. Does anyone know what's causing this and
how it could be fixed? Another issue, whenever clicking on internet
explorer or mozilla firefox to go on the internet, after clicking internet
explorer or mozilla firefox browsers disappear. Does anyone know what's
causing this and too, know how this problem could be fixed?

Thanks,
Nate

Are your anti-virus and anti-spyware utilities up-to-date and have you scanned
your system with them lately?

Something that was recently installed doesn't play well with Windows.

You'll likely need to perform an in-place upgrade.
