Have you tried wiping the drive and reinstalling everything from clean
media?
Please don't do that with the computer connected to the Internet.
Have SP4 and all other updates on CD or a network share and don't reconnect
to the internet until the reinstall is fully up to date.
External USB 2.0 hard drives can also be useful.
So can http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ instead of Internet
Explorer.
A little knowledge of how to run Windows 2000 as a user instead of an
administrator is also useful.
You may want to find someone in your area who knows how to help you and pay
them to do it.
