You guys should get rid of Windows 95/98/Me and install XP first... it's not the parangon of robustness but it's MUCH more stable. And there's a fundamental difference: the memory model and the hardware resources are this time handled entirely by the OS. Thus if one app crashes, nothing else goes wrong. Instead of having several applications calling and relaying to each other in a chain like in the Win9x multitasking style, here it's the OS which dispatches the priorities and manages the task switching. One single application crashing doesn't fuckup the entire system.

SF, we talked about it on IRC... man, do something, your computer is just unusable as of yet. Crashing 20 times a day, I mean what's the point of even turning it on ???
