Don't delete your partitions right away. A friend told me an explanation that
makes sense and is related to Fritz' installation replacing certain system dll's
that in the end seem to be more buggy on, let's say K7 cpu's. The trick to find
out if this is the case is simple: insert the windows cd and choose to repair
your OS installation. This will refresh the system libraries with the original
dll's. If this scenario does not solve your problem you can always resort to the
last option of reinstalling the OS from scratch.
