If anyone else has been having the XP problem that [livejournal.com profile] hopperuk and I have been having, she helpfully uncovered the cause, and the fix for it.

It's a worm, details here, that's been causing an error sufficiently nasty to inspire XP to spontaneously reboot. Especially obnoxious because it pops up an error message telling you that the Remote Procedure Call failed and it's restarting in 60 seconds, leaving you to watch helplessly as it counts down and then shuts down. And it does it over. And over. And over.

You can fix it via the above link or by downloading from this page. Just be sure to then get the appropriate Windows security patch so that it won't come back.

And all hail [livejournal.com profile] hopperuk for finding this out.
