get sp2 and the hot fixes - keep rebooting and going to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu....aspx?ln=en-us until there are no updates then run thru it via "custom" option to pick up any hardware drivers over on the left - you are behind your router's firewall. Turning on security initially will slow you down - while u are doing these downloads, just don't pop onto any other sites:rolleyes:
