Windows XP is shutting down on me with the following error

[Guest]

I have been getting the following error when I boot. Any idea how I can get
rid of it: Windows cannot find C:\windows\system32\printer.exe Make sure yu
typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file click the
start button & then click search.

Also, after the above error started I started to get regular crashes with
the following error (blue screen). It has been happening on a daily basis:

A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to
your computer.

If this is the first time you have gotten this re boot. If it happens again
follow these steps:
• Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation ask your hardware/software provider for any new
windows updates you might need.
• If problems continue disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you
need to use safe mode to remove or disable your computer restart your
computer press F5 to select advanced startup options and then select safe
mode, technical interrupt

Are they related. Can anyone help me get rid of these. I have not really
added any new software (except regular updates to AdWare and McAfee).
