mate its got nothing to do with mcafee or norton antivirus software as i did not install them on my other machine the problem occurred straight after a fresh xp installation, so how can it be the antivirus or pci devices if i installed it onto a differant pc and same problem occured? the hard drive was formatted so nothing from a previous installation was affecting it, theres no way that it can be anything else but dells version of xp, just to prove you all wrong, i formatted the c drive and i installed my own copy of xp, and i never had the problem, so its deffinetly the dell xp version! | |

Mate my dad has exactly the same problem on his dell pc and ive found out that its the something to do with the dell copy of XP, not quite sure what is causing the conflict but its something thats on dells xp disc, i found this out because i installed xp onto another system using the disc and i got the same problem, which rules out any hardware configuration settings, it has to be theyre software interfering with the xp settings somehow and they should offer a fix for this but i havent got round 2 phoning them up, hope this helps u2u me if u solve it | |

Disable your Windows firewall as this will more than likely be enabled by default and will cause memory conflicts between your mcafee firewall and the windows one. Similar thing happens with Symantec/Norton products too. | |

ain't a serious problem mate. just a case of discovering what the problem device is or removing mcafee. | |

Think it maybe caused by xp service pack 2 mate - check your service pack version (right click My computer and then properties and check your general tab, it should say what service pack your running. | |

Remove mcafee, see if the problem is still exists. | |

get updated drivers for the graphics card, windows update may have fooked off the manufacturer reference drivers for its own. | |

hmm. sounds like you might need to swap around the PCI cards in the machine because there are conflicting IRQs. | |
