My XP laptop was so bad after the changes suggested that it would run extremely slowly and could not even run Firefox or Internet Explorer any more. It was just freezing up. I could not get it to do a system restore either. What a mess it was in. He he. You have to love this technology stuff! After four days of severe problems with this laptop, I finally REMOVED Service Pack 3, Removed Chirp, and bought FTBasicMMO. The problem is now solved. Now I am ready to program memories into the FT857D when it arrives in a few days.
Service pack 3 is a real killer. I have seen it take reasonably functional machines and turn them into paperweights for the most part.
