Hi Carl
Posting again...
I left the laptop alone for a while with the XP virtual machine was updating itself. I was in a meeting for about 30 minutes. When I came back, I could not view any pages in IE8 - not even the Google home page, but IE did not crash - no errors or anything - it just wouldn't render any pages. Then Outlook started crashing - everytime I clicked on an email to reply, it would crash. I figured that a reboot was in order and once again, just before it rebooted...BSOD citing "memory_management".
Up until my meeting, the laptop had been stable so maybe there some Toshiba hibernation driver or something trying to kick in and failing, taking the memory with it?
As an aside - I've used XP professionally for years before this and generally pushed those machines very hard, and I've never ever had as many blue screens in all that time as I have had with this system over the past 2-3 weeks. This is dead frustrating
