Yes, go to the XP forum, it's the first topic in that forum at this moment.

I have been having the same problem for a few weeks. Virus scans have come up with nothing, finally I was not even able to stay in windows or in safe mode without it restarting. I had to do a complete rebuild. I had to boot from a CD and reinstall. I still have all my data except for my e-mails. I did not have a recent backup of it. Stupid on my part. Anyway, does anyone know if there is a way to recover the e-mail? I still have all my documents and stuff like that, but I am unable to login to my other e-mail account because all users were deleted when I reinstalled.
