Apart from this firewall thing which I am not worried about as Zone Alarm seems to be doing a good job, why are some people having lots of trouble and some not ? Guess this is a question for the geeks. It would be interesting to get some statistical info from people who are having trouble i.e. what sort of programmes running etc etc. Like Vince I have kept up with all the updates and installing SP2 from the PC World disk took about an hour but I sat patiently while it did all its thing and whats more it kept telling me what it was doing so no problems.	heaton (3697)

I installed SP2 on the first of the month, everything was fine. On the second everything was still allright. Then on the third I had lots of trouble with my computer; low RAM, everything very slow etc. etc. I decided it was SP2 and tried to do a restore. Three restore points didn't work! I gave up for the time being. Then today everything is working well again, so I guess it wasn't SP2 after all. It may have been conflicting programs as I had several different graphics programs running and a large image file, or two. Vince	Vince (406)
