XP PRO freezing up

[Laughingstar~*]

I un-installed Windows Defender. No problems since. Thank you.

Note: in the past with WD's multitudinous updates, I notice problems after
downloading them so checked back and on 4 occasions I did a System Restore
which did stop problems I was having...that program has bugs!

I've never had any problems with WD on a large number of XP PC's, many of
them owned by people who get their systems' in a good old mess, i.e. WD is
robust, well behaved, and coexists quite happily with a wide range of other
anti-malware software.

I suggest that you've managed to get your system into that unique "state" /
GUI system wide "condition" / (particular application software mix perhaps),
....and barring a vast array of other possibilities including hardware
problems, and that hilarious field of "overclocking," ....could be remote
possibilities.

Almost every application program has "bugs," sounds like you were lucky
enough to find one in WD
