THis problem has been getting worse over the last few months. What happens is the XP seems to do a quick "blink", the screen clears to the background and then re-intializes again. The net result is the loss of most running programs and systray icons. It seems to happen most when using Explorer and I hate My Computer but that seems to work more "stabally".

I have the latest drivers for my video so I don't think that's a problem. Ayone have a clue where to go from here?
