Hi gang. Personally, I've had all the Windows systems installed and found them all to be unstable to a point. I've had XP lock up my system and crash causing a lot of grief, and had ME freeze a lot, too. I have reinstalled Windows ME and never have a bit of trouble anymore because of one bad program: Norton Systemworks. In my opinion it is a worthless piece of junk and causes more problems than it solves. Get rid of any of those "fix-all" programs, and your own problems may fade away as well. Remember that XP has a built-in firewall and outside programs can cause conflicts with the operating system. Just speaking from experience.....
