Just a FYI
A few weeks ago, there was a thread about locking up laptops running Windows XP (in my case home). I was experiencing the problem and pulling my hair out as a result. After reinstalling XP and various bits of messing around, a local guru who was messing around with DOS shells noticed that it only went wrong when using the Gui. We reset the screen resolution and lo and behold, it has not locked now for about 10 days. The suspect is now the screen driver.
Richard, could I bounce the likelyhood of this being a cause off of you oh proon guru
