    When you patch Windows 2000, the only version we can reasonably support is Service Pack <b>3</b> or <b>newer</b>. Not SP1, 2, or none. You can get SP3 (recommended) here:

    <a href='http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/SP/SP3Express/NT5/EN-US/sp3express.exe' target='_blank'>http://download.microsoft.com/download/win.../sp3express.exe</a>

    What does 'crashed and rebooted' mean? Do you have auto-reboot turned on for blue screens? If so, post your minidump file here if it really is bluescreening. The fact that you have multiple programs having issues outside of NS makes it less and less likely to be an issue with us, but we'll still try to help out if possible.
