Are you now saying that the version of the Intel drivers makes no
difference? Previously I thought that you had said the difference
between
the two PCs was that the one that was crashing had Intel driver version
4.13.01.3196 and that which didn't had version 4.13.01.3004. Does this
mean that you have now eliminated the difference in driver version as
being a factor?

I though that I had posted a correction. When I ran that test, I failed to
restart, so the Kb891711 patch was not running during the test. I re-ran
things. With older version of the Intel drivers, Kb891711 causes crashes
on
Megumi, but not on Naomi. With the newer version of the Intel drivers,
Kb891711 causes crashes on Megumi, but not on Naomi. When I stop the
Mercury
Mail MTA from running in the startup group, neither driver causes crashes
on
Megumi; only the combination of Mercury Mail and Kb891711 running causes
crashes on Megumi. Oddly, the crashes only occur while launching browsers.
It is a puzzle; and I am considering additional tests by changing the
modules running when the Mercury Mail MTA is launched. I will go to a bare
bones startup; minimal, if you will. If it doesn't cause crashes I will
add
back the modules, one by one, until the crashes resume.
