I wasn't referring to a physical corruption of the drive. I'm talking about Windows trashing your memory the longer it stays up. Xp is a huge improvement, but if left running for too long your memory will still funky and need a reboot. Takes about two weeks on my system. YMMV.

I have a networking problem... Windows XP is pretty damn stable. Settings could have been changed during an automatic update. That would require re-setting things but a since Tan didn't report a system crash I doubt that anything was corrupted. If she were running WinMe that would be a different story. After my last crash I lost all communication capabilities I upgraded to Win98se and Win2K. Lots of other problems on the Win98se but haven't lost communication with the internet since then.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime. --P.J. O'Rourke
