Brand spanking new fresh install of WinXP Pro x64... Finish ALL the
Windows Updates... When I try to do, well, pretty much anything
(install something, use MSIE/Firefox, anything other than core Windows
/ My Computer stuff) as soon as I press any key on the keyboard, the
application crashes (only the App, not Windows).
I've been able to install Office2K3 & Firefox by creating a folder
manually using Windows Explorer, then browsing to the folder using
mouse-only... But this is just for "let's see what happens if"
purposes, as (obviously) apps hat crash upon keyboard use are utterly
useless.
There is nothing like this that I found on Google, and I'm kinda'
resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to re-install and
re-update... But if I were to know what to avoid - or if a known cure
is available - I'd sure like to know before I kill another 1/2 day.
I've built the system myself, so any tech questions that on may have on
it, I should be able to answer - just don't want to write a 1000 word
essay that is 99% unimportant... At least, not tonight!
Thanks gang!
