    Why, oh why?

    I can run winamp for hours on end, seti@home sits crunching away, I can swap between Halo, Half-life, Max Payne, and Gens.

    But if I try to use windows explorer (ie, the shell) chances are it'll be no more than five minutes before it restarts itself.

    This happened before and after I reinstalled windaz on this comp, and happens on my other computer and those at college.

    Why is it that something at the very heart of an OS can be so... naff?

    And I hate Litestep, so I guess I'm stuck with explorer.

    Windows is too overly complicated. Use Linux

    Could be a hardware conflict thats causing your problem.
    AMD Athlon XP 2400+ | Connect3D Radeon 9600PRO | Seagate Barrcuda 80GB HDD | 512mb PC2700 Crucial RAM | MSI KT6 Delta FIS2R | Zorro Silver Case | Windows XP/Gentoo Linux

    gamezfreak - I DO run linux, lol. Sadly I can't run it exclusively.

    It's not hardware - trust me. It's just windows being arsy about what memory regions it uses - a mate of mine recompiled explorer.exe altering it's error handling - he stopped getting crashes.

    He never did get me a copy!
