I would recommend that you put XP on a bigger partition it can barley breathe on
a 2G partition
Go into “control panel>system>advanced tab>environmental variables”
and move the “temp” and “tmp” off of the windows partition
most browsers
have a setting to move there temp files
if you would like to move the “C:\documents
and settings\” structure post back and I will give it to you
good luck, Adam
