hi:

you have kazza lite installed

goto www.lavasoftusa.com
download ad-aware and see if spyware is causing you probz
then goto www.antivirus.com
do the free online scan

next get atomicxp bootvis and xpantispy
http://www.winxp.pl/xp_utils.html
run atomicxp reboot
run xpantispy
run bootvis trace/optimize system
make sure disk utilization is checked on the left

that should make your system solid

if it stll hangs
run scandisk
run defrag
if it says no errors found than your hd is fine
remember to turn smart drive on in the bios for warings on hd defects

if all this doesnt fix the problem than get driver updates get sp1
i think its just a program accessing the internet and pausing until a response from a server


when you say hang?
mouse froze?
do you get ctrl-alt-delete?
if its web related get virtual machine from m$

what board do you have?

egghead
