Emperor Beld, bigstar still haven't replied back, he might know what the issue is.


Bart, that's an extremely bad idea. you leave yourself open to very bad "nasties".
i work in IT security, and come face to face with these things on daily basis. and this is not paranoia or hype, this is real world problems that are being exploited every minute of every day.
not keeping your OS up to date is one of the worst and most irresponsible things you could possibly do with your computer.
all service packs and hotfixes have uninstall features, and winxp itself has rollback/system restore feature. if you are having problems with any hotfix/service pack uninstall them and contact microsoft for support.
think of it as every single Ford car sold this has fault breaks and Ford is recalling all cars to fix it for free, but you ignore this and hope that your breaks will work.
