This program is not responding - Win XP
(OP)
When originally installed Windows XP worked just fine. Lately I get the above message (usually while surfing the net) multiple times and have to shut internet explorer down and then reload in order to continue. Sometimes I have to reboot entirely. Would hope for a solution without having to reload XP which also requires reloading all the other software as well.
Any and all help and suggestions appreciated.

Just type system restore into the help menu, it real easy to use and can be a lifesaver with XP.

Hopefully, System Restore was left on when you originally installed XP. It's probably far and away the best "feature" the MS ever included in their operating systems.

Goto control panel, click on add/remove programs, and remove IE.
Then goto program files directory locate Internet Explorer sub-directory delete the whole directory !
Then Reboot the system, go back to add/ remove program and click on add Internet explorer, after that goto microsoft update, and update with the latest security patches.
Also get a really good firewall, ZoneAlarm 4, and Norton personal firewall, work great together.
For my personal advise, I would dnload netscape 7.02 get it completely installed. Then remove Internet Explorer completely from your system {

If you want to get a little more intense, you have the option of greating Partitions on your current hard drive and moving all your files (the ones you want to keep) to the new partition and just reformatting the C drive. Most of the time when I get an overwhelming amount of messages like that I reformat and keep my files on 2 other partitions on the hard drive. Programs like Partition Magic can do this for you I'm pretty sure, and I think WinXP has a feature that allows formatting without software (which doesn't help you on Win98 = ( ).
~hope this helped.
