I have one program, a weather station grabbing real-time weather data from outdoor sensors, that will continue to run in the background thru it all, but it disappears from the taskbar and I cant't get it to redisplay.

It's not temp related either. Yesterday was 31C in the room with the computer and the internal case temp was 35C and the processor (K7-800) was at 39C.

I'll tinker with the auto restart and see what happens.

Simply sounds like a explorer.exe crash to me without any warnings in telling you so.

I may be wrong, but i get that all the time while i was with Windows XP, i always just put it down to a software problem, because i ain't got no money to go about fixing my hardware up in anyway, so i live with it
