big fucking win xp problem

[xeb]

i installed windows wp a while ago

a couple of weeks ago it gave me an error message "some system files have changed, please insert windows disc"... so i do.. and it does nothing. a few days later it kind of crashed so i had to re-install.

the fucking hting has just done it again.

when i say kind of crashed, it doesn't crash but the desktop stops working properly. new windows don't appear in the taskbar. can't drag and drop. can't move icos on the desktop. clicking on links in explorer where the link opens another window don't work.

fuck i don't want to have to re-install again! any ideas???

here you go:
If you have a broadband connection, either DSL or cable, chances are there's a few things you could do to optimize its speed. Windows XP uses a variety of registry settings to control how fast data is passed to and from network interfaces, so tweaking these settings to more accurately reflect the capabilities of your connection is a good idea. As there are a number of rather esoteric locations in the registry that need to be changed in order to tweak your connection's speed, refer instead to the selection of registry files here to automatically set the correct values for your system.

site with the optimizer and some other stuff to tweak you're internet connection
