Very much appreciate your testimony on NT crashes, Sean. This also jives with my more limited experience. Any popular video drivers seem especially bad? If STB is among them, that'd just give me one more reason to upgrade now to Matrox MII--and I'm lookin' for an excuse. :) Regards, Dave

In my particular case it appeared after installing NT from the latest MSDN CD along with Service Pack 3. However, the other variable in the mix was Sound Blaster full duplex drivers. Anyway, the incidence has been much reduced since installing NS 4.05. Go figure. An while you're figuring, figure the SCSI cd misbehavior. However, I suspect you're correct fundamentally. I did some registry jimmying after reinstalling NT from scratch trying to avoid reinstalling all apps. (Not the system key, though). But I probably bollixed something in that process, so Microsoft would no doubt claim I have only myself to blaim. I see this a bit differently ... <G> Spots
