I thought XP was fairly immune to this shit, after all I haven't bothered reinstalling this box since I got it from dell in march last year for example and not had any negative issues because of it, but now I feel the need start to creep up on me. *SIGH!*
Yesterday, any further windows explorer windows refused to work/respond if I had a folder displaying jpeg files open. (!)
Today, an internet explorer window showing B3D shut itself spontaneously as I clicked a web link embedded in a post and disappeared without a trace, nor any error message.
Also today: doubleclicking the time display in the system tray makes the date and time applet flash briefly on-screen and then close itself. Right-clicking the time display and selecting "adjust date and time" simply does nothing at all.
