May I also interject here that before you wipe and start again, you
make sure you have SP2 on CD if it is not part of you Windows XP disk
and all the patches and hotfixes released since SP2, and the latest
update and definition file for Norton Internet Security. Do not allow
your system to even look out the window let alone connect to the
internet without SP2, fully patched Win XP, and a current fully
function anti-virus program, installed and running, and perform a scan
before connecting. The latest malware only require connection to the
internet to infest. Nothing is tastier than an un-batch system. Not
only that, but usually you get half way through the configuration
process and things stop working, like folder properties and the system
starts to bog down and respond slowly...
