computer hangs when not network [hardware profile] [amd]
Q: I just built a computer for my sister, and it works fine when connected to the College network. It can be on days at a time and nothing will go wrong. When they unplug the network and use it at home, freezes after 5 minutes. I feel that I need another hardware profile to which the network is disabled. I do not know how to pretend. I would appreciate any help
here are the specs: XP 1700
AMD (always around 45C)
Abit AT7 mobo (onboard sound, and Ethernet)
Radeon 7500
256 2100
Windows Megs PC 2000, SP2
Re:What OS is she running…there is a glitch in the Clock in WinXP…it is set to always confirm the time with an internet Server…this usually only causes time lapses, but has been known to do some other things like this. Open up the clock setting and on the tab maked Internet Time, uncheck the check for it to confirm the time.

Re:I was just browsing, and noticed that you guys are top notch.
Excellent recommendations guys.Re:You can also Setup HARDWARE PROFILES for each location.
Much easier than disabling/re-enabling hardware.
Re:Yep! It's looking for that old network handshake and panics when it can't find it. A network-free configuration should fix it.
Re:Sounds like you have a network drive mapped in My Computer.
