After looking through the event viewer, I seen True Vecter at the same times there was the system errors, so I am now using the newest Zone Alarm so we will see if it happens any more.......

I see you've done the XP-Pro SP1 install. Any chance that triggered some new issue with S/W that was running just fine prior to SP1 added?
You mention Zone Alarm, any other issues showed up with XPPro-SP1?

Just Zone Alarm, I am sure thats it now, just had an error where ZA is gonna quit, I hit dont send and she rebooted..........................

I have to reinstall XPee, like a ding dong I installed SP1 and didnt select the option to remove it.........
Oh well........................
Thats not the first time I did that.................

Didn't Win2K SP1 break ZoneAlarm as well? Perhaps M$ are playing dirty...

Yes they did, and yes I think they are.........

How is the fire wall built into windows??????????
I really dont want to reinstall, and like a ding dong I shut off the system restore ability something like 2 days before I put in the service pack and that must get rid of everything cause the only point now would be today..........................

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should try doing an install on top of whats there. This will usually hold on to all the S/W installations & settings. It will force You to reinstall all the incremantal WinXP patches up to the point where SP1 went in.

I am trying Sygate for a few days and if I get no errors then I will do the install over whats here and see what happins....................
If nothing else I will do a fresh install.................
I am beginning to hate M$'s service packs................

I just had something very strange happen.............................

I was snagging the newest DET's, when all of a sudden, the screen res went to 640*480 and 4 bit color

I tryed to go back to 1024*768 and it wouldn't let me, I had to hit reset to get back to 1024, now I am beginning to wonder if it is the service pack or maybe a hardware problem...........................
I brought the bus back to 66

and I will see what happens from there......
