Recently my computer will nearly lockup if I try to use the search function
in either the start menu or in folder drop down menus. MS helps talks about
unloading some Win2000 program, but I don't have it loaded. Task Manager says
cpu is at 100%. Tried to reload XP Pro, message said my version is newer than
my disk?? Tried to reload Ser Pack 2. Says it's already loaded. Sent for the
free disk. Loaded it, no change. Anyone have any ideas?
