Nope, it's a P4 2.0 GHz, and I had WinXP on the previous install. All drivers/virus scans up to date as well. However, between running both the native Windows firewall and ZoneAlarm, as well as three anti-spyware programs, I've managed to keep the errors from happening again yet (1 1/2 days and still counting

). I've had a couple of Explorer crashes, but nothing like it was before.
I just wish I could find out what the error was. I never got a (helpful) response on techguy.org--very disappointing for a site that's always been helpful before.
