Yes, I had wondered about re-installing SP2 but (a) I've never done that on XP (done it many times on NT4, though!), and (b) this is my prime working system, so I really don't want to mess it up! I don't think it's an update program causing the problems (the instability is 24 hours a day), and any updates from Microsoft I run manually (after I am informed they are available). I /may/ have accepted an update from QuickTime without thinking, or for some other application. Prior to the problem I was running Terje's 2003 V4.2.0 (I think, this level of detail is now lost). It had been working perfectly for over two years.
