It is XP SP3.

Thanks all.  I was afraid that it was more than a coincidence that two aps were bombing and suspected something serious than old aps on a sophisticated pc.

Im looking for something that will help me prep a spec as someone wants to sell this PC.

Aside from that Id like to test / stress test this PC.

I would probably be (more) insane if it wasnt for EE.

I take my hat off to you people.

Hi AIDA wont uninstall - some DLL error so its looking like its a bad ap.

I ran passmark to stress the PC to see if it would crash and it didnt.

No errors in Dev manager.

I was concerned that a fresh install of XP was crashing and wanted to be thorough and confident giving a PC back to a customer.  

I am now.  Thanks everyone ....
