Try this. Start | Run | cmd | cd\ | sfc /purgecache /scannow with your Windows 2000 CD-ROM in the drive. Let us know if it happens again BEFORE you start installing programs again. This is usually a result of installing software which replaces system files in the install. This really shouldn't happen but it can. Especially if you have turned off System File Check in Group Policy.
