A problem with Explorer reseting XP

[GimieGimieGimie]

The most common cause of explorer.exe crashing, is program applications in the background, could even be something as small as Winamp in some case's.

It's just one of those things you learn to live with, can't really do much about it, if the programs them selves are causing the problems, all you can do is just find out the cause via "trial and error" and replace the faulty programs with something else

My guess here, is that the crash diolog boxes have been completely turned off, probably due to XP-AntiSpy, which turns them off completely by default. And that because there are no longer any warnings of programs crashing, the screen just blinks, explorer.exe restarts and that's it. Where's in a normal case, a crash diolog box would pop-up in between.

I'm just playing about with straws here, but hey, it's worth exploring every possible option
