re: Windows XP Problems Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 5:29 am Posted by Dick (41 messages posted) I installed XP over 98, and have a HP Pavillion with 600 hard drive, 256 ram, and 30 gig hard drive. What drove me nuts was the theme or desktop kept changing on me. No matter what changes I made and tried to keep different (XP) themes kept coming back, and the colors were extremely unpleasant. If you can help or make suggestions I will consider reloading XP. Until them I am back to 98. Thanks, Dick On Friday, November 16, 2001 at 9:05 pm, Todd wrote: >I don't understand it.

Your home networking is slow because XP is analysing the software on your network . The firewall had to be uninstalled because xp is going to tell microsoft what you've got on it . Sometime next year you will find your ISP has gone bust because it can't afford the rent that microsoft charge them for activation of it's browser . Then you will find that you didn't buy xp afterall and are just renting the services it provides . Doom and gloom , doo and gloom ....
