If you are working in a Win9x environment, after a couple of crashes, I would "Absolutely" reboot the machine before continuing (you can't be assured that that OS is cleaning up and reclaiming a possibly corrupted area of memory that "May be Required" to perform the operation). If you are working in an "NT" kernel environment, I would "Probably" reboot.....
