finally sorted out the problem i was having, this post is for people who have been having similar troubles, ive looked at other forums on other sites and its a widespread problem all originating from the services.exe part of win2k

what i did to sort the problem out was disable dns client and dhcp client, along with any other services that are invked by the services.exe application, least now i have some sort of workable system until i get redhat 8 and yet another new computer so it will run
