Disastroman

Upon booting up, on some occasions not all, The Net Messenger Icons will fail to load in the tray, when this happens if I attempt to access IE Explorer 6 it gives me Outlook Express Mini window and hangs! When I opt to end task (alt-ctrl-del)program does not respond and 'end now' message appears. Using 'end now' causes a blank blue screen and heavy HDD access is heard. I usually have to kick it off and reboot and this sometimes does the trick. When the Net icons appear, as they shoul, my machine runs flawlessly. I have since removed all IE updates going on one week now, and the problem has only reared it's nasty head 2 times since and several boot ups a success. Whew.
Anybody had this problem? I need some info on what exactly the problem is /I know CTRC Client is to do with networking, but am unsure of the XP problem/relative to.
