OH AND,
don't tell me you have service pack 2 for xp.
it sux! ruins internet browsing, causes almost 90% of downloads to break (and it wont help downloading again...). and one of my friends has a radeon graph cards. many things were lessened(internet, graphics,), and some things were increased (fatal errors, blue screens, and runtime errors) [i] in numbers [/i] (i mean, more of 'em).

so if u have, right click my computer and click browse, go to controll panel and double click edit/remove program (or wathever in english) and scroll down to sp2 and uinstall. also note, that microsoft tries to smuggle in sp2 if you dont have it installed, EVERY hotfix that includes sp2 / pree sp2 before a code in () must be uinstalled.
