im still gettin trouble with everything! im constantly trying to download the Windows updates but my computer is still crashing! I get 'not respoding' reports on Internet Explorer alot. Ive re-installed the operating system, and although im not gettin virus reports (maybe because i deleted AVG) i can just tell things are not right!! this is something thats gettin to me as im looking forward to gettin everthing running smoothly!

would it make any difference if
A) i put the machine together myself (maybe im installing something incorrectly)
B) im using my freinds copy of Windows XP?

im still tryin to get all the updates but having trouble because you have to use IE to download.

has anyone experienced similar problems? any help would be greatly appreciated coz me heads bleedin wrecked!!!
