Cheryl - It is not application SW which brings down NT - I have never seen that happen even on NT4 - but the drivers and replacement system DLLs work below the application layer. BTW in case you didn't know, those kinds of things will take Solaris down too, see my post earlier - happens all the time in development, but SUNW doesn't let those things get into production, and since they control the configuration, that usually works for them. However, I had a kernel panic and core dump on Solaris doing a simple database install - I did not take the default on one installation parameter and instead said I wanted to custom configure - hit enter, and the next thing I knew I was in the monitor looking at a core dump... shouldn't happen but it does...
