Fred,

Thank you for your comments.

I do not run ZoneAlarm nor any other firewall except for the one built-in to
WinXP-SP2. This problem showed up prior to SP2.

I have done a clean install of XP, downloaded the latest driver package from
nVidia for my motherboard and all integrated devices...

Installed the latest version of this program for CA...

And it still hung up two days ago during startup. After cleaning it off (in
the Safe Mode) the computer has booted fine ever since.

I don't understand...something is different in the new version. I can run
the older 6.x version w/o problems.

I'm glad for everyone that is able to use this w/o problems...
