SVCHOST error

I have had a pc given to me for fixing (groan). This time, its a windows 2000 professional machine with Office 2000. The symptoms are

Dial up to BTOPENWORLD and START OUTLOOK.

Then I receive a message
Svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being generated.

Then, when Excel is opened, it is unable to display OLE objects and it complains bitterly.

Looking around the MS knowledge base, I have found something similar however it mentions the use of the Aventail connect client. As far as I am aware (please prove me wong), BTOPENWORLD does not use any such client (they wont speak to me BTW as its not my account).- and in anycase, this problem developed a couple of weeks ago and there was no problem before. Any suggestions ???
