The problems have varied, but a common one was corruption of Windows Explorer (not to be confused with IE), also quite a few boot corruption issues - ntdlr.dll, etc. 

Have you been using a homebuilt or a Dell/HP? I've seen more of these issues with HP/Dell systems than people who  made homebuilt computers. Of course, having worked in gov't sectors, most of the computers are prebuilds, so the sampling stack is heavily from prebuilts.

The box with XP Home is actually from an off-brand computer maker called VPR Matrix.  Still, if you're seeing problems with Dell/HP machines versus homebuilt ones then doesn't it stand to reason that it's something Dell/HP is doing that is causing the problem?  And why is the government sector using XP Home?

Back then they shipped home with the prebuilds from Dell. I never understood why either. I wasn't the purchasing person, so it was out of my juristiction. Where Im at now is all Mac OSX systems. I still like PCs better

Getting back on point tho, it could be driver related somehow with Dell/HP systems. Yet, that's a pretty big audience that has either one of those brands. My XP pro has never crapped out on me, and only got bogged down by my own idiotic moves a few times =)
