Well, I just wanted to send a note of thanks to all who helped me with my
XP-Pro issue. I was crashing left and right and getting the dreaded BSOD
from IRQ conflicts and some other BUGCODE things going on with my USB
device.
I originally thought it was tied in with Zone Alarm, but it wasn't. I tried
everything you all suggested. All my device drivers were up to date, all
the Windows updates were done, I ran memtest86 (great program, BTW), no
spyware was found, no virus infections were found. My final thought was to
remove all my USB devices and see if that worked. I bought an ethernet
cable and disconnected my Linksys cable modem from USB and connected it to
my ethernet card. It's been 90 minutes now since a crash but I am
optimistic! I tried all the things that crashed my system previously. My
Trillian is now working (that was a Yahoo patch problem though), my AV is
working, my fire wall software is working........yadda, yadda, yadda.
I know I ended up finding this myself through a system of elimination, but I
learned tons of stuff from you folks that was priceless and eventually led
me to my solution! Thanks so much for helping me learn how to deal with XP
without throwing things at my husband! You folks are the best!!!!
So to all those with XP issues, keep at it, it really does work and these
newsgroups are the best source of support and help!
