Gerry,

Problem resolved but I must say what caused "it" to change I have no idea.
"it" being the BIOS.

For some reason the BIOS had changed. I run an ASUS A7V333 Mobo with
Athlon
2100+ CPU. The CPU clock speed was set to 1700 (and something). I
reduced
this to 1300 and All OK in that I don't get bluse screens of death any
more
and spybot runs OK. I can only assume the at around 1700 the CPU is on
overclocking knife edge.

Sorry I seem to have gone in a circle.

You could uninstall World of Warcraft and Spybot and then try running
SFC.

You mention checking for Spyware. You could try HijackThis.

Install and run HijackThis:
Download HijackThis (Freeware)
http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/

Finally run HijackThis and post the HijackThis log to the HijackThis
forum here:
http://aumha.net/

You will need to register with Aumha to be able to post.

What anti-virus checking have you done?

You have mentioned problems running Spybot and World of Warcraft.
Have you found problems with any others?

Gerry,

My original help request indicated that I'd tried a repair via recovery
console then a repair of existing windows install via recovery CD. In
both
cases got blue screen of death and stop codes as specified.

Gerry,

Thanks for your response, much appreciated. I have added my replies
beneath
your questions............

Have you tried sfc / scannow in Safe Mode?>

*** Tried but it wouldn't run (?). From run line, cmd window

thats it. Opened cmd window and tried from there. Get the message

"Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected

The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is

Have you tried running Spybot or another anti-spyware programme in
safe
mode?

*** I've run Lavasoft Adware and Microsoft Defender in Normal and
Safe
Modes
without problem. I've just tried to run Spybot in Safe mode and get
stop
error 0x0A IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

Does your oldest System Restore Point predate the problem?

*** No. Unfortunately System restore has been turned off since
troubles
began

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click
on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties.
Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

*** Found exclamation mark associated with Graphic Display (NVIDIA
GeForce4
MX440). Device Status indicated the dievice cannot be started
(Error
10).
I
unistalled, rebooted set to search internet and re-installed new
driver.
Device Manager now shows "clean" no question or exclamation marks.

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers
are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

*** Program run and all files have been scanned and verified as
digitally
signed.

*** I updated graphics driver first, checked system restore point,
then
ran
sigverifier before booting into safe mode to run try and run sfc and
spybot


Hope this helps.
