I have had the the so called 'Hot Fixes' from Microsoft installed, but it has caused more problems than I did without them. Now I have a clean installed XP Pro without the hot fixes and it is rock solid. You don't need all those fixes to run the XP. Whether compatibility issues or restarting, hibernation, powermanagement issues. The original XP can do without the fixes. I have them running on the companies several computers. They are all running just fine. At home all games and many softwares are working just right.
