this may be old news, but i seem to have to re-install XP a couple times
a year due to crashes, two caused by MS, one a "root kit". have just
been reminded to not use XP SP3. That comes as an update option after
XP install - and crashes my system. So my lesson is to not have
automatic installed updates and check for what i'm getting before
installing.

also i opt out of internet explorer 7. firefox works.

I have XP SP3 and have not seen the problems yet. I also use IE7
some as well as FF3. I have never had to reinstall XP except the
time I stupidly unplugged the system unit during a chkdsk routine.
I went through the repair sequence and it started up fine.
I've been through the same with my work laptop without incident.
It looks like I will need to look into all this. Maybe I have been
lucky.
