Try this:
Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click
Administrative Tools.
Double-click Computer Management, double-click Services and Applications, and then
double-click Services.
In the Details pane, click Network DDE.
On the Action menu, click Properties.
On the General tab, in Startup type, select disable, and then click OK.

I noticed on the Microsoft web site that this problem is addressed for
NT in KBA 244056 and that there is purportedly a fix for this for NT
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;244056). Do
you know if Microsoft has a fix for this problem in Windows XP?
Thanks,
TOM
