post SP2: system freeze after cold boot
At about the time i installed SP2 the system began freezing after a cold
boot. If the pc is off for, curiously enough, some time (not if i turn it off and then turn it on emmediately) the system freezes when i try to run a non XP-native program, like macromadia flash, or winamp or the like. After the system freezes, and i restart the computer the problem disappears, until the next cold boot. Has anyone else had a simmilar problem, or knows how to solve it? |

Do you have all the latest windows updates installed? Do you have any
external hardware? If so, are the firmware versions up-to-date? Also, you can try deleting temp files, and defragmenting your PC. "BMXbuddy" wrote in message ...

I don't have external hardware, but i do not have all the newest updates.
That's a good suggestion, the issue might be resolved by now in an update. I'll try installing updates and see if it helps.
