Ok... so I've got one of these and every now and then it'll start dialing up to some number, to which I usually turn off the PC asap. What I really need to know are what are the consequences of a dialer (i.e. cost, damage to computer etc.), how I can track the dialer down and any programs that can deal with the problem.
Thanks for your time.

Yeap, the screen is the same across all versions now. Windows XP and Blue Bar.

Since ive installed Sp2 ive just noticed that the windows loading screen doesnt say windows xp pro anymore, just windows xp. Should that happen?
I've got 2 Samsung S-ATA 160GB drives in a RAID 1 array - I wanted the mirroring because I've had a couple of major problems with the hard drives and I can't be bothered to send them back.

Get yourself a copy of BootVis from M$. It's a boot diagnostic tool for XP which M$ created their 30sec benchmark. gives you a report on what's loading where and what you can do to speed things up.

"Trogan Horse". Heh.
Nono, you want a PAIR of Raptors in a RAID 0 configuration :-)
IF you want fast either get a raptor or SCSI drive.
It depends on your HDD access speed and what you're loading on bootup. A fresh XP install will get to the desktop about 10 seconds after the BIOS loads the OS, but a few device drivers later and that goes quickly upwards.
How do you get it to go from power to login so fast? From login to desktop takes me about 10 seconds, but it must take at least 30 to get to the login. How do I speed up the initial bit?
Those screens are only for computers which do not support (or have misconfigured) ACPI power off settings. I've seen them on XP.
