It doesnt really matter if you have an old computer, windows xp doesnt work as well ever.

I have since switched back down to windows 98 and as long as i dont get any of those nasty critical updates it works perfectly. It does take a good bit more work to get windows 98 running as good as windows xp (when windows xp does run) but it more than makes up for it in reliability. I can actually leave my computer on for a week straight with no discernable problems under win98, whereas windows xp was lucky to not freeze if left alone for more than 3 hours.
Their must have bin something wrong with your installation, XP has bin running great for me. I have yet to have even one crash, BSD etc. that required a restart.
