theo said:The system restarts automaticly when i
- open the general page of the system properties
- open system information
- like to use Windows Update
On that general page the Windows and user information will
be displayed, but under the "computer" section it's empty
until a few seconds and than the system restarts
There are no stop errors or events displayed.
And the installation works perfect under XP
Please clarify: is this the ONLY time the system re-starts? Can you run other programs in XP without the computer re-starting?
My first thoughts are that you just don't have the resources that XP requires, even though you were able to get it to install.
It is possible that when you try to execute those particular programs, XP may be calling for more than the system can deliver.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you do have old (in computer time) hardware.
