Dan! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ! !

I was experiencing so many problems I was about to trash my machine and load
a disk-shaped hand grenade into the CD slot! Figured out it was Symantec's
stuff causing it all! Unloaded all their stuff and now everything runs great!

Thanks for the tip!

Microsoft Window users need to be aware that McAfee and Symantec (aka Norton)
products can disable advanced security features of XP SP2. I advise users to
rid their operating systems of these terrible products and use other means to
protect themselves in the on-line world.
