I am installing Windows XP Pro on a Gateway 366. It is an AMD K6-2 366 MHz system with 256mb of RAM. I have killed the partition on the Hard Drive, so it's to be a clean install.<BR><BR>Even though ...

Thanks, that was the problem. I forgot that about a week ago I had edited my Group Policies and disabled Windows Messenger. I change it from disabled to "not load on startup" and it works fine now.
