You could always set up a special account with very strict limits, log in as
that user, open the task manager, and leave the machine logged in till the
error happens. It's a sticky situation, but with a problem this serious you
might want to consider attempting to bend the rules just a bit and leave the
machine logged in.
Or you could log in as an admin and carry away the monitor so that nobody
can use it. :) Ok, maybe that's not such a good idea...
You could also try other things first such as updating ODBC drivers and NT
SPs...
