[Vincent Prime]

Thank you guys, i think you just solved my problem.
I have been experiencing random crashes on my XP for the past 2 weeks
after a windows update.
When i get home, i will relay how well it works to uninstall the
update. (i have already turned off auto updates, it screwed me over
before)
