I understand that this is a WinXP problem that it appears when the
computer has *more* than one GB of memory. There was a sort of
"unofficial patch" for this problem from Microsoft, but you should
call them by phone in order to get it.
The solution? If your computer has more than one GB of main memory,
reduce it to one GB or less.
Absurd, isn't it? But it worked for me!!!!!!
