hey marcus: ive got XP pro and if youve only jsut installed, my advice would be to uninstall and sling it! ive got a friend who is in the industry that gave me this advice, but my laptop had already been setup on the work network and software so i had to stick with it. the main problem with xp is that you can get hacked from outside very easily. he assures me that the earlier windows 2000 or similar are far more stable. my digi camera wont work on XP either and a lot of the adobe programs screwed up also. (every software i have ran ok on win 98 but not as well on XP!
I have the norton also, it always scans in and out emails but doesnt give a problem.
one last point of view, be very careful with outlook, everytime a new virus comes out it usually is designed to propogate through outlook. i have the free eudora email software and (touch wood) have not had problems.
disclaimer: i know jack about computers apart from not to spill tea on them....but i know some pretty smart people and i trust their opinions and advice! (just like your jetting tips :) !)
i saw the rain chewed up the british GP...but i heard that up until the last couple of weeks the weather was nice.
later
bruce
