Try updating your video card drivers.
Error : LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2.tmp.dir
This definately is a major problem for XP users. Some users have found that it was a problem with bad RAM,
The majority appear to have this problem whilst playing games.
Others seem to have this error after installing SP1.
If its a ram problem its obvious how to fix it so I wont bother telling you all how to suck eggs or find out if it is a ram problem or how to fix it.
If its SP1 most users seem to have got over this by reinstalling SP1 gain or removing SP1 & leaving it off altogether.
The users who are playing games at the time & these seem to be in the majority have either fixed it by updating the video drivers or taking the drastic option of using a completely differant video card.
However here is a MICROSOFT KB with the exact SYSDATA.XML error message & there suggested fix:

I hope the above helps you all out as it appears to be a HUGE HUGE problem for XP users
