WinXP is an exelent OS but as with all new stuff you have to grow to appreciate it. It was the same with Win2K when it was new. I had a lot of problems with it in the beginning but I solved them one ny one and leaerned at the same time. So far XP is less problematical.
You can try this if you don´t want XP to re-boot automaticly. Since Microsoft has worked so hard to make this version "the most stable ever," and I belive it is, then this tweak should not be needed.

This allows your computer to instantly reboot upon a system fault. (The blue screen)
Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ on how to get started.

Select AutoReboot from the list on the right.
Right on it and select Modify.
Change the value to 0 to disable and 1 to enable.
Reboot your computer.
