Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following: (They may or may not be there)

qservice32.exe

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.)
(This would also include the “GoBack” Program if it is installed.)
Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

F1 - win.ini: run=hpfsched
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QTSvc] C:\WINDOWS\qservice32.exe /i

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\WINDOWS\qservice32.exe

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

HI Brad,

It worked!
I really appreciated your time spent on this.
I owe u one beer if you happen to go to Paris, France (maybe a glass of win would be de rigueur though!)
