Peeve,

Yours is the first Dell desktop that I've seen reported with this problem. The rest of us are seeing it on laptops.

Judging from the configuration you quote I'm guessing that it's a more recent purchase than my Dell desktop (purchased in May, 1 GHz PIII, WinME), which runs SEIV without problems. But my Dell laptop, purchased in July (900 MHz PIII, WinME), exhibits the RCE-crash pattern.

On Puke's theory, suggesting the possibility of a problem related to the OEM Version of ME, I'm now wondering if Dell added something to their Version of ME between May and July that could be causing SEIV to choke. Maybe if all of us who are having the problem report when they purchased their machines, we'll see a pattern that will help pin this bug down.
