Same XP problem
I have noticed a problem with each new XP installation i have done through Bootcamp (on my Mac). Each were installed and seemed to be stable for about 2 hours, then i noticed that My computer constantly froze, so i rebooted to OSX, and gave it some time. Went back, and now explorer.exe won't launch. I can't even get into Task manager to start it up. So what's going on with it all, is it a Bootcamp issue, or am i having bad luck?

Are you installing xp from an oem disc or a retail disc?
Have you updated windows after you install it?

Well, one was an XP Pro Corporate copy, and another a tweaked version of XP Pro that my friend made. I have been using the XP Pro Corporate for quite some time now with no problems, this just began to surface in the past month and a half. The tweaked version i tested in VMware fusion, and i had no problems with it, so i decided to try that in Bootcamp.

Corporate is SP2, while the tweaked is SP3. No, i don;t do Windows updates because when i have in the past, it has screwed up every machine it has been on. And yea, it just start happening on this computer.
