    I think Mr Skint means set all the options to 'Never'. If it solves the problem, then you could try putting them back to what they were one by one, to find the setting that's causing all the problems.

    Updates shouldnt bum things up... Just use it for a while

    click start then run
    type cmd and press ok
    in the dos window type:
    net config server /autodisconnect:-1
    hit enter
    reboot pc
    that will disabled xp's annoying autodisconnect

    dont forget to look at spaces in the command that you type
