Does anyone know why messages for packer and calc causing errors would come up and how i could fix the problem - my computer crashes after a few seconds - an error with explorer also flashes up

Depends on what those error message tell you
Can you quote some of them ?

"Calc has caused an error in <unknown>"

"Packager has caused an error in <unknown>"

It seems to me that part of a file is missing or something, i am able to get on to the computer sometimes but i have to leave the message up and after a while is just comes to a halt.

Any Ideas??

I've had a little search around and it sounds very much like you have some form of virus or spyware on your PC. Could you please check whether you can see these files in Windows Explorer (if you can, just tell us - DON'T open them!)

c:\winnt\system32\monahr.exe
C:\winnt\FARMMEXT.exe

I couldn't see either of those files

OK, that rules out that specific issue then. It could still be a virus / spyware problem though as they often evolve regularly and start using different file names. Could you please download and run HiJack This:

http://www.isecurity.org.uk/downloads/hijackthis.zip

You'll need to unzip the file using a program like Winzip (or Windows XP will do it automatically) in order to be able to install it. Once HiJack This (HJT) is installed, please run it on your PC (only takes a few seconds) and then copy and paste the log file that it creates into a reply to this thread. That will show us all of the programs and processes that try to start up when you switch on your PC. It can sometimes show when there are errors in legitimate programs and, more often, will show us when you have a virus or spyware problem. We should then be able to tell you how to fix it.

As you've said that your PC only lasts a few seconds in Windows, you'll probably need to start up in Safe Mode to be able to install and run HJT. Do you know how to do that?

Here is what Hijack this came up with:

This needs to be put in the Spyware, Adware forum. He is hijacked by Mybar and New.net. Owen knows how to clean this up.

Have you run Spybot or Adaware SE first?

Owen has got a lot on his plate in the Spyware forum at the moment. I don't mind helping out with this one.

You've posted this thread in the Windows 2000 forum. Did you know that you're actually running Windows Millennium (Windows ME) ?

You've got A LOT of nasties on there, as AphJN said. You've got HotBar, MyBar, AutoMove, New.net (aka "New Dot Net") and other adware / spyware problems. You've also got the IMISERV virus. Be prepared for a long slog to fix all this lot. I sorted out my friend's parents' PC to rid them of all of their adware / spyware problems a few weeks ago and it took about 4 hours!

Could you please reboot your PC again, close any programs that opened up automatically after the reboot and then click on Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Double-click (to remove) any entries in the list that refer to:

HotBar
TimeSink
MyBar
NewDotNet
EBates

Then, close that screen. Run HJT again and select the following entries to be 'fixed' or 'removed' (some of these entries may already have been removed by the preceeding action):

Once you've selected all of those entries to be 'fixed' or 'removed', close HJT.

Go into Windows Explorer and delete the following files:

C:\Windows\System\ADStartUP.exe
C:\Windows\System\AdUpdater.exe
C:\Windows\System\Swin32.dll
C:\Windows\System\AutoMove.exe
C:\Windows\System\adupdmanager.xml
C:\Windows\System\data.xml
C:\Windows\System\IEEnhancer.dll
C:\Windows\System\Trans.exe

Then, in Windows Explorer, delete the following folders:

C:\Program Files\HotBar
C:\Program Files\Timesink
C:\Program Files\Myway
C:\Program Files\NewDotNet
C:\Program Files\EBates

Finally, in Windows Explorer, go into the C:\Windows\Temp folder and delete all of the files inside it (not the folder itself).

Empty your Recycle Bin (note that this will permanently delete any files that you've previously deleted to the Recycle Bin).

Reboot, close any programs that open automatically, run HJT again and post us a fresh log file. There is still likely to be more work to do. It's just taken me half an hour to pick out all of the bits that I recognise and give you those instructions. Hopefully, the next log file will be a lot shorter and most of that stuff will be gone. Some will be a real pain to get rid of though and we might need to have a second go at it. My next set of instructions should be quicker for you to work through.

I look forward to hearing from you again to see how you're getting on
