Umm yup, your CPU will definitely support HT, if its a P4 CPU .

The option to enable/disable HT will be in the BIOS .

BUT, it MAY or MAY not work, if XP is already installed .

It would have to be reformatted, or a repair install may work . (I think u need XP Pro for this)?

If u can get into the registry, see if this entry

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1 actually exists .

Because that entry (Pol icies\System) doesnt exist in XP SP2 .

Notice Pol icies (this should be ONE word, not spaced) . And the System
bit after Pol icies doesnt exist either (well in XP SP2) .

It maybe a fake entry (If its in the registry) .

I would say, IF u can get into the registry now (this entry would have locked you out, of task manager and the registry) .

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1, everything should be fine .

As anything related to has now been deleted .

We'll soon find out if u install SP2, as it may reboot continuously . If SP2 installs fine and the system works fine later . Thats the end of this post!

then the offending entry is no longer there when i search the registry...
