hmm i kinda have xp running good on my old machine now, except my usb mouse will work for a bit, i can move it for a bit and use it normally then it randomly freezes. the red light still flashes on the bottom though and the comp still works with the keyboard. i have to start it up in diagnostic mode from msconfig as the normal mode seems to freeze the comp on the xp screen. well it did that ever since let xp install the drivers for stuff in safe mode.
