All updated have been applied.  Another thing I just noticed.  When I
do a bandwidth speedtest ( http://www.bandwidthplace.com ).  The Win2k
computer always measures at about twice the speed - seriously!

WinXP - 700-900 kilobits per second
Win2k - 1.9 megabits per second

The Win2k computer is noticeably a lot faster on everything.

What's going on?
