    I was working on this older computer for a friend, just installed xp pro for him and when i went to open the dial up program that he uses the computer just haulted and restarted, its an older machine, has 600mhz p3, 512 meg sd ram and im really not sure wha else it has, mainly just integrated crap, its an hp model number xe743, just kind of curious if any one has any ideas of why this might have happened, thank you mEcroneo

    Sounds like the drivers for the modem are not compatible with windows XP. My computer kept doing the same thing after I upgraded. check what kind of modem you have and upgrade the driver.

    that might help

    Right click my computer/properties/advanced/startup & recovery/settings. In there untick auto restart. Now you should get an error that should give a clue on what to do.
