Sounds like you may need to do a full re-installation (as opposed to a repair install) as this is normally caused by virus's. However it could be caused by something else possible problems are disscussed further here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103

Have you tried booting into safe mode? You maybe be able to run virus scans in safe mode, or retrieve anything important before fully formatting your hdd.

I have tried safe mode etc. Just really dont want to do a full install... There are lots of programs on there and configurations such as VPN etc. Thanks

Try going into bios and changing the following:
Advanced Opts: ( i think )
[No Execute Memory Protect]
