does it give any more info? ie which files are corrupt

could well be faulty ram

download this http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ultimate_Boot_CD_Basic_d4019.html

run the exe, then burn the iso image to disc, using imgburn or nero, burn image option

reboot, the pc will boot from cd, go into memorytools, memtest, it'll tell you if you have any problems

are you overclocking?

If you've updated XP, then the culprit could possibly be IE7. A friend at work came in this morning to find his PC hosed by an IE7 install over the weekend. It seems it isn't as stable as it could be

Here is what come`s up.

The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\CLBCATQ.DLL is not a valid windows image please check this againist your installation diskette.

Ram is ok as ive ran ORTHOS for over 2 hours with no errors.

Not installed IE7.

I think i`ll do another fresh install of XP as ive not put much of my stuff on.

Thanks for the replys

something is very wrong, sounds like ram problems (may just be a corrupt xp install)
