I am trying to save this computer because my parents gave up and bought a new one and gave this one to me. They had to reinstall windows xp about every two to three weeks because it would crash and go to a BSOD. They were also unable to keep service pack 2 on here for long. I know the computer has had viruses in the past and I think there may be problems with some leftover and/or registry errors. When I start the pc I get an error message stating: (Windows- Registry Recovery: One of the files containing the systems Registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.) I was successful in installing service pack 2 about a week ago but I fear a crash will be coming in the near future from it. Also tried installing sp3 today and got an error message telling me that I couldn't. Below is the HJT log. Thanks for your help.
