[alamgir]

If anyone knows how 2 stop windows XP from freezinplease tell me. The thing is that whenever i get on to the internet sometimes the screen just freezes and the only way 2 get bak is to use the main switch so if anyone knows how 2 stop this please tell me :)

i think its asdl but it has nothin to do with my internet connection becos i've already been on a 56k modem and now i'm on broadband and the freezing happened with both. I remember someone tellin me it was becos xp and all my friends have the problem

Does you XP users computer's just restart by itself sometimes?...Or is it just my computer?

[alamgir]

mine just freezes, u have 2 switch it off then on again 2 get it back and somtimes it freezes even if i dont go on the internet. ONce when i sshut down the shut down screen froze and i couldn't even use the main button 2 turn it off so i turned the plug off and i put it bak in again 2 make it work

Strange... I have an XP and it never does that! Maybe because I built this computer..... :laughlong:

i've got xp as well and it's almost never frozen for me...

reformat :D

[Panda_Man]

have you checked out microsoft.com? yours may have a bug that was resolved in later versions.. if that's the case, download a patch..... you may also want some updated virus protection... otherwise, you may have to format and reinstall xp like king ryu said...

PS ask ssjkarma

[ryu-killer]

how u download a patch?and virse pertention because my computer is acting the same way but my computer tells my that u cant play no more games and makes error report to the company to fix but they never fix the problem?

[alamgir]

i've already got a virus killer

[milestails]

using an xp right now... but worse than freezing it loses all data once in a while and my mom has to reboot it again.. u should see how loud she screams when the computer loses all its data....not pretty....! :0

Had an XP, never froze. The problem with the XP I had is that it couldn`t detect hardware well.
