It makes the machine unstable, causing repeated hard freezes

Do a google search for more info

Spread the word if you think this is important

( Just got off 'phone with Microsoft )

UNTIL

You remove Spyware ( Spysweeper recommended
looks like spyware was the problem )

Go to IE Explorer
delete files
Delete Cookies..

do a Disk Clean up

THEN try the install

All:

PRIOR to installing the new XP Service pack
Go to Internet explorer
go to tools
go to Internet options
Delete cookies
delete files
click OK

Sweep your machine for Spyware ( spysweeper)

THEN install

Right , Linux ( Sigh...)

- Looks like spyware & something else totally freeze the system if you have
multiple browser pages up & flip between them, loading them as you go..
And this is only on an intermittant basis..
Their " crash sendback" doesn't work on this either..

Spent 2 hours with Microsoft, ( yes, people in the U.S. ) testing every
configuration ;
Sometimes it would freeze, requiring a full power cycle.

Sometimes 2-3 times in 15 minurtes, sometimes hours between freeze-ups.

deleted cookies, files,
ran Norton,
Ran Spysweeper, Spykiller2004, Spybot search & Destroy

Downloaded a newer copy of Mozilla..
treating it gentle..
- Let see...

Try using Mozilla Firefox. The extensions alone are a good reason to
switch. All that pesky security stuff comes second...

All the more reason to not run Windo$e. If I can install and run Linux
anyone can.

Or maybe more fairly, if you can run a shortwave radio, you can probably run
Linux on most standard equipment (that has not been specifically
manufactured to run MS's system and nothing else). Suggest taking a look
at Red Hat, Mepis or Xandros Linux. Crash free, cheap or free, and no
security issues.
