Installed XP home edition...only problem is when I click
on My Computer...XP just hangs there for about two
minutes and displays the info. Everything else run fine
and fast.
 
Donald, usually if you just installed XP and MyComputer responds like
that the reason is missing device
drivers. Did you update all your Devices to XP drivers. rt click on
MyComputer>select Properties>
Hardware>Device Manager. Look for any yellow marks next to the Devices.
Those are the ones that
need the updated drivers.
 
Any Error messages during the boot process? You can always look at these in Event Viewer. Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID: and Source Description are important.
