After about 30 minutes XP stops working and the Program tray says "Empty". All Icons stop working and pressing start will only broing up the change user window so I have to stop the computer by pushing the off button.

Can anyone help?

Welcome to TSF....

What is the make and model number of the computer?

Do you have the recovery/restore software for this computer?

It's an HP Pavillion Media Centre edition AMD dual Core. Windows XP family edition SP2.

Sorry! I have the XP Disk. It would be too easy just to re-install but I do not want to lose the Programs installed unless I can repair without reformatting.
