XP Home -freeze up

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Don't need to format or reinstall. there is a recoverytool that fixes problem
like registry, try using it.
Reboot hit F8..... follow steps for recovery mode.
First try this
start>run>sfc /scannow

Try turning off Windows Update and any update program that accesses the net
