kgertz,

Did you upgrade from 98 to XP? If yes, did you just insert the XP cd an choose to replace your previous version to XP?

In MY OPINION, the only GOOD way to upgrade to XP WITH OUT ANY problems is to format your existing drive, start your computer with XP (Upgrade CD), it will ask you to insert a previous version of Windows.
Once the installation starts, it will ask you to format the drive? Format with the NTFS option.
After your installation is complete go do all OF YOUR Windows Update starting from the Security, Windows & Drivers if necessary.

The reason I'm telling you this is based on the amount of people that are having problems with they're computer and in most case it's based on a bad installation. I know Windows says that it's all you need to do, insert the cd and do the upgrade!!

Thrust me, I've install windows so MANY times using the Windows way and my method and it's DAY & NIGHT difference!

NO MORE PROBLEM AFTER...
Windows XP install on a CLEAN NTFS drive will work like a charm.
