Compaq 6110nx applications freeze

techprincess
I was given a new laptop for work - Compaq 6110NX. We are wireless at work. I take it home to use on my wireless system and it connects with no problem to the internet. However, when I open an application such as Word, Excel, Photoshop, those programs freeze.

jeffrychuck1161
When my computer goes on standby, it will only stay asleep for a couple minutes or so, then starts back up. If I turn off the DSL it will stay asleep. It is a HP computer, running XP. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Possible to still get WinXP Pro?

packman
Is it still possible, in the UK, to buy a straightforward copy of WinXP Pro? That's to say, without embedded SP2. I'm a 2K-user myself but am planning for the time when support for Win2K will have waned beyond redemption and where I'll need to invest in WinXP instead.
