Thanks for all the tips. I'm slowly working through them now and will let
you know as soon as I figure out what the problem is. Not sure if this helps
or not, but I was just finishing the installation of Zone Alarm firewall and
the system had to do a reboot, that's when all this started. Could that
program be responsible somehow?

I was running Norton System Works on that OS, don't know what version it
is/was of Norton Anti-Virus. The program doesn't appear to be in its
directory and I'm not entirely sure what happened to it. I believe I
uninstalled it before I installed Zone Alarm. Anyway, I don't think it's a
hardware problem because the second XP installation is working alright.

If you have any further ideas, please let me know.

Thanks for your help and I'll post here as I learn more.
