    It's hard to say what's going on; it could be a bug or conflict that prevents
    autorecover from working, or it could be that the crash is of a type that it's not
    able to recover from.

    It seems that the real problem is to get it to stop crashing, though.

    In either case, do you have any antivirus software running? If so, try disabling it
    (I'd disconnect the computers from the net for the duration, just to be safe).

    And is there any pattern to the crashing? Always on the same files, always when doing
    the same sort of thing ... like that?
