Try re-installing the servicepack maybe? Have you went to Windows Update and updated your computer after the servicepack install? if it still freezez, might be a virus, or maybe spyware.

If you have:

1. A properly configured firewall
2. Properly configured and up-to-date AV

Uninstall SP2. Revert to "last known good".

SP2 is aimed at those who don't, won't, or can't properly secure their systems. Third party software works better and the problems with SP2 far outweigh the benefits. Many of MS own apps will not even work with it.

Specifications are fine and certainly it should not be freezing up.

Better to do a clean install with a slipstreamed XP CD using nLite and adding RyanVMs update pack so that you can burn a new CD and get a clean unattended install first time.

Then re-install your other software and see if any incompatability problems arise.

When all is as it should be make a drive image to be able to restore the system easily.

      Maybe I am using a different calendar...

      Alternative Calendars

      Strange really to have more than one calendar on one planet.

      To reply 3762 years later is a bit late.

      It may be a bit late ;D but just to add that SP2 failing to install is generally caused by AV running or by infections being present.

      The guest poster got the dummy part of his name right anyway!
