Would installing Contivity on a Win XP Home machine cause the machine to be
non-functional? I have a Contivity client that uses Fiberlink Global Remote
and whenever I install the package, all of the system resources are used up
and I can run nothing. Until I saw this message, I was thinking that there
was an incompatibility with the Athlon 64.
I previously ran these older versions if these packages on a P3 running
WindowsME with no problem.
