Is a new OS (XP Pro) install set up for more than one user?

Anything scanning (for virus/spyware) & I don't suppose there is any background folding going on per chance ?

lol, nope the folding is on my PS3.
No anti virus or anti spyware loaded, and it hadn't been on the web other than windows update site.

It was a fresh OS install on Sunday after crashing fatally on Thursday.

Ok close the thread anyway.. The machine is FUBAR now anyway so all this is academic.

Sure?

FUBAR in that it won't boot and I feel I have too many threads going based around the same problem.
I think I'll stick to general hardware as I haven't actually found the base of the problems yet.

I can ask a don to merge this thread into that one then? So you've got everything together.
