This is strange.

Windows Xp hangs on Splash screen if I try to reboot - yet
if I shutdown and power back on all seems fine.

Safe Mode starts ok.

Did have to do a System Restore a couple of days ago for
similar reason... is my old 700 Mhz PC just out of
gas...even with its 640MB RAM?

In Device Manager - also seems that my one NIC (3com) is
joined by about 6 others including WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
etc?? Not sure what this is?
