If you have XP "out of box" and put it on the Internet without further ado, chances are 1 in 1 that you have one of the RPC server exploits. This would show up as icons that don't fire, reboots, flaky cut-paste behavior etc. etc. Look into it. -drl

ACagle should probably read through the posts in this [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/board/search/?field_searchUser=22&field_searchSubject=&field_searchContent=rpc&field_searchSignature=&field_searchForum=-1&field_boardid=1&submit_ok%3Amethod=Search\|search]. I came across a couple of Win98SE machines at work that were horribly infected with viruses. They were crashy, useless boxes until they were disinfected. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.

Somebody forgot to add "secure" to the above list during the design phase. I have a security briefing powerpoint somewhere at work which contains the slide "Windows =" + graphic of swiss cheese.
