Ah Microsoft, You've Done It Again!
I have just experienced a day of getting my crippled laptop back to life again. 
It's no fun when you are trying to meet deadlines and fix your PC!
Finally I had to resort to reinstalling XP and my troubles went from bad to worse! XP refused to activate an promptly logged me off every time I tried to log in. It seems that as I had recently replaced both the motherboard and the hard drive, Microsoft refused to believe I was the legitimate owner of the XP license!
At least to their credit Microsoft were able to fix the problem over the phone but it took some time and a lot of numbers were involved! Ah Microsoft, You've Done It Again!
