Agreed, XP was much better than 98 but I still did more than one reinstall of 99SE. In fact I kept the installation on a spare plug in drive. DXP2004 has been very good, noticeably more stable although it has its quirks too. If only one machine were misbehaving I would say find the config files (I think they live in C:\) and remove them. 99SE will install fresh ones when it starts up. It cured mine a few times. Also a corrupted database will crash 99SE although it will usually load and run for a while. Best plan is to cut and paste everything in to a new db if you can keep the bad one up for long enough. Good Luck

I've been using it with XP since it came out and it's been the most stable OS I've run under. I do get an error "event" on closing Protel which is announced by the Windows default sound for "critical stop", (this has been consistent on 4 different XP PC's), but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I never have spontaneous crashes or freezing like I did under WinME and Win98. WinNT4 and Win2000 usually behaved themselves ok but I do remember occasional bizarre behavior. If this is new, its possible that Windows Update may have installed something bad. Antivirus software is always a possible source of trouble. Since you're having trouble on two different systems, is it possible that your .ddb is corrupt?
