Please post a complete copy of the Error Report from Event Viewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

That's an incomplete Error Report. You did not use my tip on copying.

Have you recently made any RAM memory changes?

I think I would test the RAM.

I have not made any memory changes. This is not the only computer I have
worked on this past week or so with this problem. I believe that last week
after MS posted updates did I experience the first time. Different
systemboards all running XP. I have been installing Service Pack 3 for XP!
 
I am also experiencing explorer crashing when opening random files. I have
also just updated all machines to SP3 on XP??

Please help

I have not made any memory changes. This is not the only computer I have
worked on this past week or so with this problem. I believe that last week
after MS posted updates did I experience the first time. Different
systemboards all running XP. I have been installing Service Pack 3 for XP!

I found solution to my problem. We are using a printing application called
Docuprinter to create tiff's from drawings. I found that the problem went
away after uninstalling it. I upgraded to a newer version and that resolved
issue. Hopefully this gives you a starting point to troubleshoot.
