>Every two hours or so I get blue screen. Every 3 hours or so I get "Program performed illegal operation" , I can't stay logged into MS Inet sites long enough to get 10% of a servicepack of anykind, and when I was typing this message my browser hung for 1 minute. I hope you guys in the US are happy cause we ain't.

BSOD is always hardware related. Have you always had this? Did you install new printer, video driver, memory etc?

The other problems are most likely software related, but can almost always be tracked down.

My dev machine at home runs WinNT SP4 and runs for months at a time.

In a full days work, with heads down programming, I'll get maybe 1 Dr Watson in a day.

I guarantee you, this is not regional, but hardware/ software related.
