Thanks Dale... Right now I've re-installed this XP crap on her box.
I did it with the ethernet cable unplugged. that seemed to cause
some issues, but we'll see.
I have downloaded most of all those AV/firewall/spykillers from my
linux box and burned them to CD.
After that, I intend to follow your (and others) advice exactly.
And, I've no intention of getting this SP2.
Good heavens : and Windows should be user-friendly ??? - Wonder how
my old aunt and Joe Sixpack use this "OS".
Thanks again
Kaj Haulrich.
