The pc is not connected to internet.<BR>I have selective startup using msconfig and all that is running is systray and explorer.<BR><BR>Why why ??<BR><BR>No logic here...

Have you run memtest on the RAM? You may have a stick that is going bad.<BR>You can also get a trial version of MemTurbo which might show that large amounts of RAM are not being freed up by closed programs. I've purchased a copy and it works wonders with Win9X and WinME.
