No. It's a Dell Inspiron 220 with a Celeron. It's definitely SP2. Mike

Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste back here. There would be some personal information (like System Name and User Name) or whatever appears to be only your business that you can delete from the paste.
From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 3 Mar 2010 16:29 1. Why hasn't SP3 been installed by now? [just a question, not a recommendation yet] Note: Extended Support for WinXP SP2 ends on 10 July 2010. After that date, computers running WinXP SP2 will NOT be offered any further critical security updates, Automatic Updates will not work, and Windows Update website will not be accessible until SP3 is installed. 2. Did you ever run the Norton Removal Tool and the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool and did you run them before you installed Avast? 3. Are you aware of the fact that Ad-Aware SE is not longer supported and that there haven't been updates for it for almost two years? mholt(a)ohiohills.com wrote: > On Mar 3, 2:16 pm, "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABear...(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3? > > XP, SP2 -- unless SP3 was installed without my knowing of it. > >> Did this happen immediately after installing a Windows Update? > > No. I had changed nothing on the computer since summer, when I > installed Thunderbird (with no trouble at all). > >> What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your >> subscription current?

Don't waste any more time or don't have any sleepless nights. You should expect Microsoft Operating system to crash from time to time otherwise all pigs won't have anything else to do apart from asking you stupid questions like:: <quote> Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3? Did this happen immediately after installing a Windows Update? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? </quote>

If you search the internet for this error code, you will find lots of reasons for the error. Jim |
