Browser problems

[Guest]

I recently purchased XP Home Edition ..the worst
descision ever! This systems sucks big time!
My browser wont open anything after the initial page has
opened. no searches are carried out etc. the programme is
allways not responding and I have to shut down.
What is going on?..this has never happened in any othe
Windows versions.
Frustrated and ready to destroy this box!
