Today (Nov 25) I bought XP Pro and installed on my PIII, 512MB, with a 40GB (C and an 80GB HD (D. Formerly had Win 98SE. Installed on C drive no problem; activated it by phone. I then installed Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003. I opened WORD, and the PC activated my copy over the internet which was now connected.
I then downloaded the windows updates which installed fine. I then rebooted my PC. XP hung (frozen mouse and no HD activity) at the country-scene following administrator logon.
I then found your website using another PC and followed the thread on booting up in safe mode (I am totally new to XP installs and any problems with XP!!) I rolled back to the configuration prior to Windows Updates (15 were made). Problem persisted. Rolled back to original config before office installed. Problem still persists. I cannot go any further back, this was the first thing I did with my new XP installation!
Any advice is very welcome! Surely XP should work after restoring to its original configuration?!
Sincerely, Mark
