Gerry, thank you for all of your suggestions and information. A few bits of
info and a correction:
I am on a ThinkPad A30, about 2 1/2 years old to me but not new when I got
it. I am on Win 2000 Pro, however, NOT XP (my error in stating so). There
were no peripherals attached and none are attached now. The only changes made
are updates to McAfee software suite, which are automatic.
I have proceeded past the STOP error by booting in safe mode and restoring
the active desktop. However my system continues to freeze (I created a
spearate post today, which you also kindly replied to) independent of
application. I can only proceeed by cutting power. On reboot the system says
it must check the disk, which so far has proceeded w/o problem, and then I
restore the active desktop. I am afraid to attempt any application such as
Word or email. (I'm borrowing my Dad's system at the moment.)
I hope this provides a clearer picture.
Thanks,
Deb
