my XP machine crashes every day also. Something with IE and adobe acrobat reader, in my case. I have to use IE from time to time because one of my clients intranet is IE only. OT, but may help some. I had similar problems and believe that Acrobat Reader (specifically the web component that runs in IE) was at fault. Besides frequent crashes (limited to occasional XP crashes, but mostly contained to IE and Acrobat Reader), I would notice that it left a process running/hanging after reading a .pdf file in the browser. What helped is to download the .pdf file and use the Acrobat Reader application outside the browser. What helped more is uninstalling Acrobat Reader (it's gotten really fat and slow), and using FoxItReader! foxitsoftware.com download.com
