drilling down is necessary. check: fan on cpu, hot cpu's cause lockups. also maybe a stack (min SPs) issue (increase) also more ram is needed . while on this also check the free space on the hard drive; windows tend to jam when there's low hdd space, additionally it could be the isp because when a user is on for along time the user is sometimes pushed back in resourses. my experience is that going to win-xp solved many headaches and solved a sililar problem for the me. good luck, joe
