Did you install WinXP SP2 before or after you installed FP 2003?
Did you perform an upgrade to FP 2003 with FP 2002 installed, or did you do
a clean install?

| Thanks to those who offered to assist. Of course I did expect at least one
| "it's your fault" response.
|
| First of all, I am very careful about what I run in he background. I'm a
| tidy nut. I usually have nothing running in the BG.
| The OS is Win XP-SP2.  The processor is a AMD2600+ with 512 of RAM. I have
| about 100G of HD space.
| FP2003 is an upgrade from FP2000.
|
| What other applications do I have. Many...but none are running in the BG.
|
| I was not running PWS.
|
| And I know.... yanking the plug out is no help..but I have been so
| frustrated, it's surprising I didn't fling the whole CPU at the wall!
|
| Thanks to Steve..I will try his suggestion.
|
| I STILL didn't get an answer regarding the fact that I bought and paid for
| something that doesn't work. Why do software suppliers feel that backing a
| product is not a responsibility? There IS a cavalier attitude here.  It's
| that attitude that the technically uneducated customer is an idiot and as
a
| result they cause all their own problems. If this was a CAR, I'd be dead
by
| now!
