I have seen a problem in Windows (since Win2k) which I have never had the time to get to the bottom off. The sympton of the problem is that menus stop appearing and you can't get new applications to appear + you can't even get the task manager to display itself. Ultimately you end up rebooting. Anyway, I have found that if you bounce the explorer.exe process the problem disappears. So save the following script into a file on your desktop called "RestartExporer.Bat" and run it when you box starts to die: taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe start c:\winnt\explorer.exe
