it's just because your computer can't handle it. Mininum of 256mb RAM is required if you want it running smooth.

xp has posed a few problems for me too. although im told it is supposed to be one of the most stable opperating systems out there. supposebly will never crash altogether only crash programs. but it doesnt like my hardware cause none of it was made for xp it was made back in 98. ive tried updates on the web but no help yet.

Cygnus, haven't had any problems burning cds? Windows, Nero and GoldenHawk all fail to burn for me with XP. The only prog that'll work is HPs piece of shit user-friendly software that doesn't allow one to remove the two second gaps. My hard drive is completely full and I'm getting quite irritated with the situation.

GoldenHawk is superb, are you sure you know what you think you know you're knowing? I've prefered it to all the software I've used up til XP came along and disrupted my smooth music stealing experience.
Thnx, I'll try that prog.

Microsoft has effectively written an opperating system that is so idiot proof that only an idiot can use it.
Its USELESS to anyone with the slightest inkling of what they are supposed to be doing on a computer.

Windows XP is the best thing since sliced bread. Windows XP Pro is far more stable than any other version of Windows. Windows XP cannot be less stable than Windows 2000, as the technology was built on that platform upwards...

Actually...i have a AMD/K6-2 350Mhz 3dNow w. 96 MB RAM...old crappy puter...
now this is what i run best Windows 98: Runs rairly good. Crashes often, but can handle all programs and games. Can't run DivX movies without jitter..
Windows ME: Runs ok. Doesnt crash as often as 98, and has all the great functions. My PC is faster with ME, but still can't run DivX without jitter.
Windows 2000: Fucks up the entire system! Windows XP: Now heres something interesting. Runs ok. Has great functions. Great design. Runs all the old programs and RUNS DIVX WITHOUT JITTER!. Thats all good you should think, until I found out that XP uses 2GB as a swap file! Plus it became really unstable after 2 months.
now i'm back to Windows 98 =(
