Upgraded to XP from ME a few days ago. Nothing but problems. Can't get
McAfee Virusscan to run, install, uninstall nothing, it is version 7.0.
Internet Explorer locks up all the time, usually when when trying to play a
music clip. I just tried to play a music clip and it show 24 different
Windows Task Managers running, this was after everything was locked up for
about 2 minutes. I really like my music. Any suggestions?

Thanks

David

Hello
Did you turn the ICF on?
http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp

Did you go to MS Windows Update and download all the updates?
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Download, Update & Run ad-aware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Download & Run a free virus to scan and see if you are infected.

It only takes a split second to become infected with one of the many virus'
& worms on the market today.

In addition to your virus scan, scan for malware. Download, install and run
Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com

If your system is clear of viruses and malware, open Control Panel, open
System, go to
the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery, remove the
check from "Automatically Restart" under System Failure. This will cause
the system to blue screen instead of restarting on errors and the
information on the blue screen may give a clue as to the source of the
issue.

Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event Viewer, look for
errors corresponding to the crash, double click the error, the information
contained within may give a clue as to the
source of the problem. If you don't understand the information inside, the
third button down in that dialog box will copy the information,
you can then paste it into a message and post it here and maybe we can
figure out what is going on.

Assuming you have an XP CD and not a recovery CD, place the XP CD in the
drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System Compatibility,"
the report it generates may point to problem hardware or software on your
system. If you do not have an XP CD, you can download this application
known as the Upgrade Advisor from the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...ng/advisor.asp
Note: If you have access to a broadband connection it might be best to
download using that as this is a rather large download.

Check for the latest drivers for your hardware, especially your graphics
card and soundcard and all peripherals connected to your system. Do not use
Windows Update for this, go to the device manufacturer's web sites and if
you install updated drivers, ignore the message about drivers being unsigned
by Microsoft. *Before installing any drivers, be sure you are well backed
up and it's probably a good idea to manually create a restore point in
System Restore in case you have problems as a result of the driver update
and note, System Restore is not a substitute for a backup. Start\All
Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore

Next time turn off all your 49 background apps and disconnect all your
external devices before you upgrade.
