But everytime I use a IE related page (My Computer, Recycle Bin..etc ) or right click anything on my dektop my computer crashes and It says Dr. Watson Post Mortem Debugger has to close.

This also happens when I click somethign to play in Windows Media Player.This actually has been going on for a while.

Weird thing is the problem goes away if i use Quicktime, so it has to be Windows related.


Using XP Service Pack 2 on firefox ( naturally)

Any ideas?

Edit: heh, it happened again, my taskbar is gone and i cant see my desktop (if i minimize it, the screen still has the browser)

Help before i get used to this >.>

Another edit ^^;;

I get this little suprise every single time i boot up my computer:

That looks like a hardware issue (UPnP). Did you add or upgrade a USB device lately?

Sidenote: Does telling microsoft about the problem even DO anything? I have a feeling that they put that button there just to make people feel better.... Or Maybe microsoft has a stash of the "Problems" that they either ignore... or actually attempt to fix... but end up not fixing it.
