No windows updates have been installed yet.
When shutting down, sysfader window pops up and it seems to sit there
for a long time.
No error messages.
I can get on IE6 fine but when I want to use OutLook Express for
email, it wants to be configured.
Can this be the problems to the sysfader problem?
P.S., I have to shut down the computer thru the windows task master.
Thanks

It would appear that the problem is, the shop did not save settings
information and reinstalled the operating system and possibly glitched
part of the install and didn't check for it.
I'd bring it back; they owe you a functioning machine after repair.
I assume you've already paid for the work.

You might want to keep track too, of whether your XP coa code is any
good. It may not be, depending on how the shop went about their install
procedure.

Have you tried manuall updating windows? Perhaps it's just the setting
for auto-updates not set.
