Can anyone advise about my reboot problem? Usually when downloading
files or rapidly changing web pages, the pc just reboots. When the
configuration screen appears, a message saying "nyldr missing"
appears. If I shut the pc off for a few seconds and turn it back on,
everything loads ok. I'm running XP with sp2, netscape 7.2 and
Symantic antivirus 2005. Any help will be appreciated. I ran memtest86
for 3 hrs with no problems.

Netscape is bad news, and so is the Symantec AV. They may or may not
be causing your problem, but you will be better off using something
else. Try AVG for virus protection and anything but Netscape for
surfing the net. I use Opera, which doesn't put anything in your
system folders. I have yet to see that it does less than the big fat
installations.
