Thanks for reply and tip. Took me a long time reading through the unattend info on the net. Thanks again. What should I do and where should I start? But then the freezes came back the next morning worse than ever, freezing every 2 minutes. Long story short — it seems to be working, no freezes since the Repair install.

At the same time I would like to understand if there is a way to determine if corrupted files are the problems and if there is no detected malware by numerous scans whether corrupted files can be fixed.
That is does windows xp give you the option to run a repair with either the reinstallation disk or a brand new installation disk? If you have no detected malware and then perform a repair and the system appears to work normally again is the problem that the malware still has altered the registry and this is missed by the repair tool? So it is essentially an incomplete repair? Is that the reason for always doing a complete reinstall or is it something else?
Based on what I know as of this moment I would make these steps and i bet there are lots of errors. But here goes anyway. Please correct me anywhere I get the steps out of order, make a mistake or miss a step. Currently I am backing up my documents and desktop but I will need to learn how to backup files of contacts within microsoft outlook, aol etc. This has already been done with MS and malwarebytes.
These are potentially malware contaminated files but since they are not the operating system files and since they passed the malware scans they are safe to reinstall? Will one of the windows updates convert xp sp2 into xp sp3? Will there be numerous reboots with numerous updates. This is likely to take one or more hours? When I was having the problems I checked the hardware on my computer by booting and pressing the f12 key.
This opened dell diagnostics and all of the hardware passed. It skipped one step and that was flashing the bios. I have a dead battery and it indicated that it only can flash the bios with battery power. If flashing a bios is a part of the windows installation process then It would fail at that point as I will only have electrical power.
I hope that this is not a part of the reinstall process. If it is then I would need to get a battery before I replace the operating system. I have not set up microsoft outlook since 5 years ago and no longer remember how to do that. But I anticipate I will need to get isp codes or use smtp or something like that? I'll have to google search for the aol configuration too. Using wifi and speed test. How do I download now and them get them to the proper place on my internal drive after the operating system installation.
Is it somehow a simple copy and paste somewhere or does the operating system look and find it on the external hard drive to place the files in the right place? The download options are run, save and cancel. If i click on save now can it go to the extrnal hard drive for use later? I am guessing that this is a lot diffrent than the word, excel, powerpoint, adobe files etc which is a copy and paste to my documents? And the same for the drivers, the updated drivers could be downloaded somehow to the external drive and then somehow go to the right place after operating system installation?
How do i find each driver that is old to make sure it seeks a new driver that is on the external drive? Where are all the drivers populated to go through the process? Do I somehow skip this step by not installing the drivers on the dll cd and somehow install drivers from the external drive the first time.
How do I do this? I use windows xp sp3 and I have a disk from dell that is a reinstallation cd Microsoft windows xp home edition service pack 2: Also I have microsoft office and if I have any problems with it I reinsert the cd and it enables repairs.
