Are you running a firewall? I would definitely consider this if you are running a DSL internet connection with this type of software. Some Trojans have been known to give similar error messages.

Also, I noticed an unusual RAM amount. If you have recently installed memory, try uninstalling the upgraded chips. It is rare, but possible that the RAM chips are bad and would give similar error messages. This would be my last resort of troubleshooting.

Otherwise, re-trace your recent additions to your system since the error messages. It is very typical that some recent change in the system configuration (hardware of software) creates new error messages with win9x computers.
