I've got XP home on my Presario laptop and have run into
an incessant hang problem now that I've installed SP1. I
reinstalled XP from scratch (even reformatted the disk)
and tried installing SP1 a second time, and I'm still
getting the hangs:

Anytime, from as little as a few seconds to (normally) a
few minutes after booting, the machine hangs solidly. The
screen freezes, keyboard and mouse become inactive, and
the disk activity light goes out.

I *can* reboot. The power button's the only thing that
works :-(
 
I, too was having that problem; changed from a serial
mouse connected to the com port to a ps2 mouse and now can
work without freezing. I upgraded fron Win2k pro to XP pro
