137313 2003-04-20 08:56:00 Hi All,

Running Win XP Pro. All was well until I loaded Service pak 1. Then my computer locks up on connection to my service provider. Sometimes imediatly, also in Outlook express and internet Explorer. ON reboot I can usually get thru OK.

Have reformatted to remove Service pak 1 but the problem continues.

Tried everything I can think of.

Any Ideas please .

Peter

137315 2003-04-20 09:53:00 What do you mean by reformat...Did you reformat and reload windows or uninstall SP1 through add/remove? Pheonix (280)
137316 2003-04-20 16:25:00 I did the uninstall from add/remove. As this was not successful and the lockups continued, I reformated my hard drive and reloaded XP.

The problem continues.
