Over the past few days, XP has been locking up.. I have all the latest
updates here as well as Office 2000... only thing running is usually Outlook
2000... I cannot figure what is causing it... my AV is always up to date as
well.. last scan reveals a clean drive..although I did get, and clean out,
Mydoom-A... (EZ caught that one AFTER the file was unzipped..)

Where do I start looking.. anyone see this lately??? Thanks!
 
I started having the exact same problems yesterday as Lady Spudz earlier post.
Please tell me how to fix it!! HELP

Wow.. not exactly, but certainly along the same lines..

Could it be with the 'fix' MS came out with earlier than scheduled to fix
Mydoom-A? That's about the only thing I can think of... there was another
fix today.. Mine froze after that...

Seems fine.. well, for now... hard to pinpint.. I had Outlook 200 running,
and was playing Solitaire when it just locked up.. ctrl/alt/del didn't
work.. had to hold the power button, shutdown, restarted.. no error to
report either...

Is is it the ghost of WinME?!
 
Dunno about the fix, usually have the automatic update and don't pay much
attention to what it's doing. Probably not the brightest move. Did go to win
update page today though and got one critical update, hasn't made a difference
with my troubles though.

Will keep checking back here . . . would be nice to be able to actually use the
machine for things non-internetty.

I've had XP freezes since I installed the damn thing, same hardware as NT4 which
*never* froze. Used to be (on average) once a week - or once a day with intense
internet activity.

Since I installed some updates on Monday, it'll only stay up for 1min to an
hour.

These freezes freeze the mouse cursor - never saw that with NT from 3.50
onwards.
