Thank you. I will try that!

If you can get into safe mode then you are probably correct about the driver issue - but it would be good to go through the step by step loading of the drivers (one of the options on startup) and see which is causing you the problem - the other thing would be to once you have the reboot on error turned off - let it come up with the error - then go to the control panel, system and look at the hardware and see if any have a red x or yellow question mark on them - that would indicate which driver is "probably" giving you the error also.
Unfortunately there are some programs out there that dont have real compatible drivers for XP - especially programs you can download as freeware/shareware - and those can cause the same type of error as well

The last thing I would check if those dont find it - is to get something like hijackthis off the web - and run it to see if there is a hijacker thats causing that error - its always a possibility and most virus scanners and spyware scanners wont pick up a lot of these
