Hi Stan !

Regarding your WinXP problem, make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements 
to drive WinXP ( visit Microsoft.com) . If it does meet the requirements you shoud 
reinstall XP using the repair mode . I think that your problem might come from an 
unsufficient RAM ( from my experience you should have at least 128 Meg ram, I suggest 
more like 256 Meg ram). I'm using WinXp Pro on a AMD Duron 900 Mhz, 256 Meg Ram, 
install on a logical partition ( My Win 98 Se is still on my primary partion) and 
everything run smoothly. If you did an upgrade from a previous O/S you will have 
problems with XP. Do a clean installation from a full version on a separate partition. 
Hoping this will help, wildsurfercan@hotmail.com
