Okay. I am blushing. I found out that I had not updated IE to v6 and that is why HouseCall failed. It found a bunch of vira alright and I cleaned them. Still the problem persists, but I seem to have regained at least minimal control over some things. CMD, regedit and taskmanager still shuts down, but Services does not.
I couldn't locate System Restore. Shamed to admit that I have never needed it. Is it located in Services under a different name perchance?
