...by pointing him in the direction of a taskbar replacement for Windows 2000. See, his XP broke, now he's on Win2k [again]...and can't stand the plain-jane taskbar. 
Anyone have any suggestions besides ObjectBar and Litestep?

OK..just for the hell of it, let''s try something. Download these drivers ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/56.72/.Also download and install this http://rudz.frac.dk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Diner_Wrapper&file=index&req=ShowFile&file_wrap=html/nfr.htm .Using the Add/Remove Programs un-install the nvidia display drivers and re-boot into safe mode. Run the NFR that you installed and it will delete all old nvidia files that might still be on your system. While still in safe mode, install the 56.72 drivers and re-boot into windows. Reset your display settings and see if the random re-boots stop.

Should I do that on Win2k or WinXP? The reboots happen on both...

Gary, tried what you said, everything went smooth. When I booted into safe mode, NFR didn't find anything, so I installed the display drivers, boot back into Win2k, it was fine. I tried to load Winamp, and blackness. So, it reboots, I go back to Win2k...this time, it crashes before the login dialog even shows. Tried twice more...same thing. So, now I booted back into XP, and everything is ok...I can use my browser, thats all I need really. Are you sure it's not a bad HD? I had a feeling this was gonna happen, been wanting to get a new HD for a while now...just been too lazy to format, figure just buy new.
Oh, and China...I'll be expecting my new Alienware soon. I want it Black with a 20" LCD. I mean, it's the least you can do seeing as you killed my Windows 2000. You OS murderer!!!
