well thanks for looking into it - the problem was successfully replicated by me when I set up my new PC (Dell Dimension 5000) with XP Home and downloaded an evaluation copy of FXP build 1045, installed it and ran it - it hangs at 16kb as does my other PC when the hotfix is installed. Both work fine without the hotfix. Neither PC has Zone Alarm. I am pretty sure the problem is to do with the TCP receive window size which apparently mucks up Win2K users the same way - as the window size they are talking about is 16kb.... it's all a bit beyond me though - while I program PHP and Actionscript at an intermediate level Windows has remained a mystery to me (due to my never really needing to look into it as everything always works!) - looking forward to any advice or fixes as Windows is still re-installing this hotfix at every given opportunity......
