am not sure what you mean about not using NTFS. winXP is using NTFS. XP setup gives you the option to use either Fat32 or NTFS...make sure your format is jiving with your install....... /me thinks we should take up a collection, come to your house and fix this damn machine <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.gif"

just made a post and don't know where it went... let's try again... feline...forget the Win98 boot disk...go into bios and change 1st boot device to CD rom. After XP installs and starts to re-boot, go into bios and change 1st device back to HDD. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 AL

Yes, my machine took it (although I did have to go back in and get 811493 out). Take your Windows Update OFF auto. You can run a manual listing of updates after you un-install SP1 and see if there are any that you might really need on your machine (although that's easier said then done). If you install any of them set a Restore Point before you install it, that way if it causes a problem you can go right back........ <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&New

I surfed around for awhile and came up with this.......I have not tried this, so try at your own risk............ Q.

Crissy....is this the registry hack you tried ? Registry Settings User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ Advanced] Value Name: EnableBalloonTips Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBrowser!"

leave it there...on some PC's SP1 (in either flavor) badly degraded performance. As long as you archived old files when you installed the service pack you can un-install it. I would try that and see what you get insofar as performance returning to normal. If it fixes the problem, run without it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBrowser!"
