...by pointing him in the direction of a taskbar replacement for Windows 2000. See, his XP broke, now he's on Win2k [again]...and can't stand the plain-jane taskbar.

Anyone have any suggestions besides ObjectBar and Litestep?

Thanks China, I'm actually using the trial now...but I was hoping for a thrifty alternative...I should have new XP in 3 weeks or so...so I hope the trial lasts that long...any others?

Actually, it's my hard drive (I hope), my computer is constantly crashing and rebooting, it does it on XP, now it's doin' on Win2k. I figured the install just got messed up, and a new HD will fix it...

BTW, Gary...Etch-A-Sketch isn't free. http://www.world-of-toys.com/cgi-bin/catalog.pl?stage=1&cat=3&item=505

To be serious for a moment....that doesn't sound like a bad HD...

No, I hope not China, this has been happening for a while now...but I''ve been able to deal with it for the past few weeks, only recently it''s been happening constantly.

What else could it be Gary?

Are you getting the BSOD before each reboot?

I don't even see that much, my screen just goes black...sometimes it reboots automatically, sometimes I gotta hit the reset button.
