Hopefully, someone can help you. 
I have had a wonderful experience with xp ! 
So don't give up yet!
It sounds like you 'got a lemon'  - if that's possible! 
Lots of people here who know there way around it, right? !!

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- IMO Win XP is a disaster!!


Now whenever I try to use Search option in the Start menu to look for a
file, Explorer.exe craps out, I get A "Data Execution Prevention" boxed msge
that kills Explorer, disappears the tool bar, flickers the screen and then
rewrites desktop, thereby moving all the icons around!! Win Support website
says (oh so very briefly) to work around this (known!) problem I should
"uninstall Windows 2000 Rescource kit".
Nice, eh? And just how the ^&$%#% do I do that, Microsoft? I certainly can't
use the search option to find it, now can I!?

And then things sometimes start up on the system tray, and then sometimes
they don't! Sometimes they even completely disappear! (And I'm not talking
about the "hiding " icons here either). Putting stuff in the StartUp menu is
ridicuously hard, and then most of the time the programs won't even start
consistantly at bootup! (Such as Webwasher!)

And everytime I go to start Winamp radio, WinXP tells me it can't start the
thing and makes me do a 'browse' search for the software that's right there
on the C drive!!

Anybody here got any help for me with this stuff? Please?

Because if I keep having these kinds of problems with this crappy Win XP
software, I'm just gonna s**tcan the whole program and go back to my old
dependable Win 98!
Thanks,
drummer
