Okay, I've been frustrated for a few months now as my
machine has been constantly crashing (totally random
times, but every time it has been accessing the internet -
either in a game or IE6 itself).
I've swapped all hardware to no avail, and even
reinstalled the OS (WinXP Pro) a few times.
I've finally reinstalled the OS and refused to run the
latest security patches... no more lockups. I installed
the patches, immediately the lockups started again.
Restored to previous backup, and lockups dissappeared
again. One of the semi-recent patches (from
October/November on) appears to be locking up my machine.
Any thoughts on this from anyone? I haven't tracked down
exactly which patch yet.
I don't like leaving holes in the security of my machine
by not patching, and right now I am having to rely on my
router firewall and antivirus software to protect me.
