Rebooting PC for some user profiles

[Guest]

I have Windows XP with sp 2 on my home PC. I have set up users for each
member of my family and we all log on to use our own profiles.

My profile works perfectly (ocassionally locking out but no other problems).
My wife's user profile is continuously rebooting for no apparent reason.

Any ideas?

Yes,, it's crashing and automatically restarting. Turn this feature off so
you can figure out what the problem is. Right-click on My Computer, choose
Properties, then Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery click Settings.
DE-select "automatically restart" on the System Failure panel. Choose OK
back to the desktop.

Next time whatever is crashing crashes, you should see an error message that
will hopefully provide useful clues.
