Keeps causing an error message upon bootup - can't rid it.

As far as I'm aware - not dangerous. You can deactivate it by going to msconfig and then find it in the service list if you don't need it running.

upon bootup if my computer is runing very slow I'll go to File Manager and check processes. I'll have from 1 to 4 UPnPFramework. exe file showing CPU. I'll simple end process and things are running much better.

Excluded in Control Panle/Firewall now PC faster and no waiting stalls anymore.All you need ticked is Network diagnostics for XP in Exceptions.Now its fine.Could be potentially dangerous with file sharing open.
