[3.2]

Thanks lmmadic!

btw, it could be a program you're installing Xeb.
you could try to disable the System Restore feature right after reinstalling.
The system restore feature is very useful, but could mess up with some non-fully-compatible applications.

To disable system restore:
Right Click on My Computer, Properties, System Restore, Disable system restore in all drives.

(sorry, i run an spanish xp copy so translation could probably be inaccurate)




You can try to reactivate the feature once you have most of your software installed.

did you update to SP1 and/or SP2 ?

I've just installed xp and my internet connection is much slower
than it was.
any idea?

here you go:
If you have a broadband connection, either DSL or cable, chances are there's a few things you could do to optimize its speed. Windows XP uses a variety of registry settings to control how fast data is passed to and from network interfaces, so tweaking these settings to more accurately reflect the capabilities of your connection is a good idea. As there are a number of rather esoteric locations in the registry that need to be changed in order to tweak your connection's speed, refer instead to the selection of registry files here to automatically set the correct values for your system.

site with the optimizer and some other stuff to tweak you're internet connection
