Everythings updated. Managed to stop it crashing, it was to do with a reg key that handles how the avi thumbnails are shown.
Deleted the value on the key and is working OK.
I'm beginning to consider going to suse 64bit. XP is just giving me too much grieve.
It started booting up and it would get to the login screen, after a few minutes or so my monitor would go blank and a message would dispaly 'Input source out of range'.
First I thought, video card had gone. Powered off, checked it over all seemed fine.
Slotted back in and booted up, got to login... logged in and working.
I'd read somewhere on the web about a setting in the boot.ini file you can change to stop the explorer.exe crash... change the OptIn to AlwaysOff.
I did this before I got the weird login reboots, last night switched the setting to OptIn and working again.
I think this setting must disable some functionality of the AMD64, as when I had it to AlwaysOff... it normally says 'Physical Address Extension' in the system properties page, but did not have this when I was using 'AlwaysOff'.
Now i'm back with 'OptIn' setting and physical address extension is shown.
Feckin XP just winds me up, so many contradictions in the software.
