XP Promblems/Nightmares

On 11-24-03 I installed the home upgrade version of
Windows XP. Formerly, I was using Windows Me. I thought
this new system would solve problems, but instead it has
created more.

When attempting to access Money 2000 from my desktop
shortcut I get the following message:

"Money cannot locate 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP
Authorized Custom\My Money' or cannot open it, possible
because it is a read only file. You can change the read
only attribute in the Windows Explorer. If you have
chosedn the correct file and it cannot be accessed, you
will need to open your most recent backup file.

If the file is being used by another application chose it
in the other application, close it in the other
application, and try again."

I ended up copying the backup from floppy discs, but I
have lost 15 days of data. Is there anyway of location
this information on my hard drive?

When I am connected to the internet for 15 to 20 minutes I
get the following message:

"The system is shutting down. Save all unsaved files.
This is initiated by NT Authority/System.

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)service terminated
unexpectatedly."


My system then restarts. This the most frustrating of my
problems. How do I fix this problem?
 
Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
installed the KB824146 Hotfix, without having first installed an
antivirus application with current virus definition files, and before
enabling a firewall, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next RPC countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also, make
sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any more
intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
