Hello, Armando

I have cable which I connect to with an ethernet card. The problem started
shortly after going to cable, and I removed the card, but that had no
effect, and I re-installed it.

Conceivably. Around that time, I "upgraded" to ZA Pro. A known problem with
it slowing down the computer was a conflict with its mailsafe feature and
Norton's. I tried disabling one at a time, but to no avail. I also installed
Pest Patrol around the same time.

Can't go back that far.

I looked at the site, followed the suggestions, but no help. I did have the
811493 Microsoft patch installed earlier, and was aware of the problem it
was supposed to cause. I uninstalled that as well... No good.

I have had great luck with XP since November of 2001. No problems, no
freezes, worked great.
Would the process be to disable certain programs, one at a time, and see if
that helps? Not sure how to do that.
AAR, thanx for the suggestions. Any more??

Richard
