When you say "migrated" do you mean: a) restored my data and re-installed applications after installing WinXP to an empty drive or partition b) performaned an "upgrade installation" of WinXP ?
If you said (b), that choice may be responsible for these problems. Upgrade installations are not generally recommended because they can result in unstable systems. In this case I would recommend re-migrating as in (a). If you said (a), the next step would be to eliminate other software as the problem. Boot into safe mode. Does the problem occur there? If not, then something that is automatically starting in normal mode is to blame. Time to look at all of the stuff that is autostarting (MSConfig or Autoruns from sysinternals.com) and temporarily turn things off until you hit the one responsible.

I use ZoneAlarm, AVG, AdAware, Spybot S&D, CCleaner and JV16 Power Tools. Everything works fine except for a very irritating problem in that "sometimes" if I open a couple (or more) windows, the last one hangs, and clicking the previous windows has no effect and does not remove the hang! And, the only way I can get out is by doing a C-A-D and not even "end task", but just an "X" exit of the Task Manager, gets rid of the "hang" without any loss of data, with all the open windows intact!! I have done the usual virus, spyware, scandisk, defrag, scanreg and registry cleanup checks, in vain. I have not been able to search Google "effectively" for a suitable answer. As I have to write a lot of reports (not into gaming) this is fast becoming a real pain when doing multiple cut/pastes. I know that XP Pro SP2 is pretty much bullet-proof, so, I must have done something stupid in the configuration:~( I will be most obliged if I could have some troubleshooting solutions:~) Warm regards Cheers......................JK -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
