Does doing this sound like a good idea?

No money to get an external hard drive and windows xp disk, or an internal hard drive for that matter.

To be honest, I'm sure I could sue a new computer at this point.

Also the way to fix the svchost that you gave me was more or less if it had a corruped update happen. I'll see what downloading those updates do but it did just randomly fail and not because of an update either.
