Looks like people are going to stick with XP as long as they can make their machines go. John, have you thought about going to Linux?

My computer is feeling much better today. I went through my Start-Up program and un-checked any media programs (I'd already kicked out QuickTime from trying to load at startup--boy, is that one a hog!) and now Windows Media Player has to wait until I need it. Nero is in the same boat, as discussed earlier. I also checked out a few of the other functions that are in there and are very useful. It doesn't hurt to remind yourself occasionally what some of these other programs do.
