That's great, but I'd still put comodo firewall on it in place of the
windows one.  Is it possible to use AOL as your ISP without loading all
their crappy software??

I keep sp2 around to do a refresh install of it if necessary.  I've seen a
refresh install of sp2 fix some problems not as serious as the one's your
having.  Always worth a shot before a reformat.
