Ali,
RE:"He definitely has a virus. It is called "Automatic
Windows Update". Only a totally computer-illiterate
person can leave automatic web updates active,
and publicly compare this procedure with stability
of a Linux system. I have lost all my esteem and
respect for Scumbria. Sorry."

Well, I wasn't going to say anything but Windows ME is known as a virus in certain cicles. Auto-updates are even worse.
Even Windows 98SE is much more stable than Win ME...

Don't be so hard on Scumbria. Technical design knowledge and real world knowledge of buggy software are sometime mutually exclusive.

Jim

Ali,

The Athlon problem is a system hardware problem. The Duron problem may be software. Don't know yet.
