What are your system specs? Have you tried a memory diagnostic program? If not, you might try Memtest86 overnight and see if it reveals issues. Sometimes a little bump in memory voltage and/or a slight relaxation of memory timings is advisable.

In the bigger picture, though, the fact that this happens so predictably with just one program makes you wonder if it just needs Internet Exploder reinstalled. You can go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and there should be a Add/Remove Windows Features where you can try that. Good luck, and don't forget to patch up IE at Windows Update if you reinstall it.

I have the same problem with my server running windows 2k and opening outlook express. I've ran memtest86 and had no errors at all. I have been meaning to reinstall 2k but I haven't had time and for now it works great serving out files so it's not really broken.

im starting to notice in photoshop that not all of the menu options are there and every now and then i can only save files in the PSD format. I think that after this weekend ill do tha windows repair option. repair is basically a reinstall, but oh well. at least i dont have to reinstall all my apps over agian.

While I only have old PhotoShop LE, I can comment that there are certain scenarios where it's normal for mine to only allow me to save in .PSD format because of the nature of the image (layers, for example). Still, if your Windows installation is freaking out, the Repair may be just what it needs. Good luck!

Just to be on the safe side run Adaware and Spybot to make sure some spy crap isn't interfering. Worth a shot.
