Dave, Kathy, and all,
This is very common when we stay online, or work on a large project. The
computer starts to run out of momory, or overuses it's cache, and we get
these errors.

The simplest solution is to shut down all open programs, and then reboot
(restart) the computer. That generally takes care of these errors.
Especially page faults, general protection faults, and others. Also a
good idea to defrag your hard drive to keep things running at optimum
performance (speed and function). And to regularly run your anitvirus
software (preferably on boot). Hope this helps! <G>
