Strange PC behaviour advice needed.
Kaytrim:
Personally I use the Zone Alarm free version on all my home computers. I keep it up to date so there is no conflicts. I feel that ZA is a better firewall because it blocks both incoming and outgoing traffic. If a program is changed by a virus or update it blocks access to the network for that program until you give the OK.

I am not going to argue the merits of individual programs.
However, the ones I have mentioned work flawlessly with the over 200 games I have installed at Click's. Also, I chose these particular programs because of their balance of effectiveness with very little overhead. No one can tell that their is an active virus scanner running while they are playing World of WarCraft or Counter-Strike Source.
To each their own.

Your at the beginning of what could be a long troubleshooting process. I agree about ditching zone alarm. I would say use the built-in firewall and also use a hardware based firewall if you can. Zone Alarm is too much of a hog in my opinion anyways.
Skip IE7 and head straight to firefox 2.0. Use IE only when needed (such as websites you trust that require activeX)
During setup with windows XP and SATA drives. You really need to provide the proper drivers by pressing F6 during the installation to manually install the drivers.
Good luck.

Fire Fox with the IE tab Feature. I have Never Looked Back.

I tried Firefox at Click's. Customer's kept complaining that it did not work with the sites they wanted to use. Most Yahoo stuff did not work, a lot of them use Yahoo, and others were similar. That is why I switched back to IE 7.

Weren't the tabs a part of Firefox (or was it Opera) well before M$ added them for IE7?
Anyway, I keep a copy of IE6 for the rare instance when some lame site requires IE (Yahoo works just fine for me with Firefox BTW).
