You need to understand one important factor about SP2, it addresses major security flaws in XP. If you NEVER connect to the Internet with that machine, then fine. However, if you do, you really need those patches, they are not an option my friend, really.:Yikes:

Found the bloody cause.

I use útorrent alot for moving files from the beta to other users who are on dial up, it constantly warns me about the nvidia firewall (* uninstalled * NVAPP or something in system32, *) so I goto remove it, won't remove, I try safe mode same result.

In the meantime I am due to be uploading the new files to a friend in Germany so my mood was not good.

Anyways to cut it short i took the following action.

Totally removing all nvidia drivers even gfx from the computer, reboot run ccleaner in safe mode, reboot same in normal windows and reboot again.

I then re-installed the Nvidia AMD Nforce4 Sli drivers, then my ethernet systems, then drivers for display.

Sorted....nope...same issue.

Then it hit me, it always hangs on 100% when I open IE7, so I removed IE7 problem gone.

I now wish to apply for a Firefox Rules membership please.
