Irecently upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro and since then,
from time to time, my system freezes up and I have to
physically unplug the computer and then power it up
again. I was told that XP Pro does not upgrade well. Has
anybody else had this problem and how can I fix it
without formatting my drives and starting over>
