Huh...You think you lot have problems. I have an Athlon 1.4 Thunderbird processor. 512 Ram K7S5A mainboard and 80 GB hdd. With an ancient HP 690C printer and an older HP4300C scanner. My XP Pro runs like a dream and I haven't had the slightest problem from loading it. I am a Computer support analyst by profession and just built an Athlon XP2800 for a friend. All singing and dancing (music content). All devices are this seasons and the DB's. XP keeps Blue screen of death (BSoD) at random. I am in the process of changing every little piece of hardware to try and find the fault.

You name it I changed it. The cost is hurtin' me and more to the point my professional pride is stung.

The web has about a million hits for the same problem
"BSoD win32k.sys Stop error.

Someone sing me the blues before this SOB 'puter takes a flying lesson.
