I forgot to mention that the "restart after error" is part of XP and is one
of the first things to turn off when you get running again. Right-click "My
Computer" select "Properties", click on the "Advanced" tab and look for
"Startup and recovery" - click on settings there. Find "Automatically
restart" and turn that off.
