I got Windows XP installed on the PC a few months ago by my sister's friend, for free, very generious of him.
Got ms office xp, all the works, norton anti-virus, neroburner and a couple up-to-date xp stuff.

I 'liked' Windows xp when it was on the pc, with the different users u can have on the pc, thats cool.

now, its driving me nuts, again, with another problem.

When I log on my user/pass, gets me in, sometimes the taskbar only shows up the anti-virus program, usually it shows more. And the loading clock from the mouse pointer never goes away when i just highlight the taskbar.

When I go to the Internet Explorer, sometimes it doesn't work, says on the bottom left, "Detecting proxy setting. . . . . ." OK, then I try playing a game to see if its cable modem thats down, nope, any online game works(except for steam, which i still hate it, no offense), but not IE? (right now, using IE, but took 5 shutdowns to work؃Öÿ|؃£Ü)

Checked the Local Area Connection and my ip changes from a 24.xx.xx.xx to a 169.xxx.xxx.xx, stupid.
Called shaw on the phone, still busy...whatever.

When I log off, shows the windows xp screen, should show to choose other users, but noooo, says, "Saving your settings" and then freezes the pc.

AAAAIIIIIEEEEEYYYYYAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! ÿÖ܃£á

Checked the requirements for windows xp on microsoft.com, its fine for the pc.

btw specs again are:

633 mhz celeron
192 mb ram
20 gig hard drive
40x cd-rom
windows xp
shaw cable internet (in canada)

my isp filter wont let me access it for obscenity. and norton rocks pain in the rear but it works and does its job
 
Hey Corpfox, in case you're still wanting some suggestions.... Open up your IE, and click on Tools--Internet Options--Connections tab, then click the Lan Settings button. Make sure that all 3 options on that page are NOT checked.
