I find that XP will sometimes lock up right after it completes booting. This happens once every couple of times I start XP. Which means once a day to once every few days. The scenario is this: XP is started up. Login completes. I go to start up a program ( any program) and the XP system freezes. I give it a minute to see if it will come back and then have Parallels Reset XP. XP boots back up I log in and everything is fine. I use the system for hours after this never have a problem. So the questions are: Why does this happen? Is there a fix? Will the resets cause disk corruption or other related problems that I need to be concerned about? Thanks Sculler

Problem seems to be resolved by build 5160 I installed the update to build 5160 and the problem resolved. Or at least has not presented itself since. Sculler
