what ports do u use for aim?

My XP Home SP1 pc has begun to freeze on the 'Windows is
starting screen' (or there abouts). After reading the
articles on the KB I found that I was missing a security
update from last year (my pc is only 4 months old) that

a message appears on my screen everytime i turn off my
PC. IRQL_not_less_or_equal

-- and my stand by button is faded.

When i shut my computer down reundll32.exe wont respond
and i can figure out why can anyone hlp me out with this
problem my email is xclusterx@hotmail.com

Whenever i call the clip art from any program (XP Pro,
Office XP Pro) i get this messege.
"Clip Organizer Error Code 0x8007007F"
I found that it is happening to a lot of users.

Does any body know the process to restore the help menue
function on the F1 key. Another program deactivated or
changed it. Where are the settings.
Thanks-
