I'm not sure what your taskmanager looked like before, but unless you point something out, I don't see anything odd, other than no titlebar with the "X" in the upper right corner.

Also, just a tip ... It's not so much the site is slow, but your picture is a 550K .bmp -- that image should be no more than a 20K .jpg

Well, if you are only concerned about the lack of the 'X' to close the window, just double click the box and it will come back. Outside of that, I think we'll need more info.....

Arch, you are the man. The whole thing happened when my cat ran across my computer and mouse and i couldent figure out if it was just some random error or some thing the cat did. Thank you very much.

I am having a problem as well. I've noticed these programs are always running everytime I log into Win XP. They aren't programs I have installed, yet have somehow got onto my ocmputer, under a folder called "Grimlove". And everytime I delete it, it comes back. On top of that, there is always two "iexplorer.exe"s running in my task manager. When I try to end the task, it just loads up again.

Just make sure you have no viruses on your comp. Second go to www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware and download adaware. This will detect and remove spy ware. Also try starting windows up in safe mode, hit f8 at the begining of windows loading. Once in safe mode you should be able to delete any thing that is giving you a problem. As far as IE giving you problems, dont let the cat near your computer and you should be all set lol.

I am just wondering if anyone has installed Win XP SP 2 yet and if it is stable. I have heard that it may not be worth installing.

Your mileage may vary.

I can report that it uninstalled flawlessly back to SP1 with no problems.

You may want to look around on some forums and see if theres other people out there with your particular hardware having trouble.

On the bright side, there's alot of people having no problems with it at all!

I'm having no problems at all running SP2 so far.

SP2 is good so far, and the taskbar problem I have seen before, it was a virus, had to redo the computer, so make sure you totally up to date with virus defs, and you do a full system scan, and make sure your virus scanner is set to scan all files, hopefully you have norton or your virus program may not even find it.
