Thank you all for your excellent suggestions. You're all in the rightYou can find information about the IPv6 Helper Service at the following:
area.
The first thing I did was to look at the Admin Tools: Event Viewer
Applications, Security are all information, but in Systems, every boot
I get these two errors:
1) The IPv6 Helper Service service hung on starting.
2) The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
aic78xx
Don't know what these two do. Any ideas?
The next thing I did was to shut off that pesky UPnP
I went to the
My Computer right click
Manage
Services and Applications
Services
SSDP Discovery Service right click Properties/disable
then I rebooted to see what happens.
Something did change, but instead of an hour glass over the start, all
seemed dead, nothing would work for about 2 minutes. While waiting, I
checked the ctrlaltdel to find that one of the four svchost.exe was
hogging the CPU for 99+ ??, so I end task. Instantly I could open
applications and START and WinXP was up and running, but in the Event
Viewer were now...
1) The IPv6 Helper Service service hung on starting.
2) The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
aic78xx
3) The DNS Client service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1
time(s).
With the entry time stamp of 3) happening exactly matching when I shut
off the 'hogging' svchost.exe
I then went to RUN
ipconfig /flushdns
which caused the HD to do a lot of accessing
However, checking again I found all four svchost.exe's were back
running, but none hogging CPU.
Before I logged onto the net to bring everyone up to date, I checked
the SSDP Discovery Service and found it ON ?!
Don't know why it's so hard to kill that thing.
Turned it off, then dialed IP and went right to the welcome screen for
the first time ever!
Seems like problem starts with bad driver, or nonexistent driver,
followed by that SSD and UPnP search

As you will read, it depends on some other programs to be functioning
properly in order for it to work.
As for the aic78xx driver that is a hard drive driver that can be used to
support SCSI hard drives and also used for the more common SATA drives. It
is usually used on SATA drives for people trying to setup a RAID of some
sort but can be used on non-raid systems. You might want to check around
for a floppy or CD that should have come with your system with the driver on
it. There is usually an instruction file included with it.
