I had a customer used Partition Magic to change his boot disk on NT from a
Fat16 to a NTFS. It was 2.1 GB to start (which is the maximum an NT boot
partition is capable of being on a Virgin Install as the boot partition is
always formatted as FAT16 first even if NTFS is selected) and he made it 8GB
and started having GPFs in almost every program he runs. I told him to
change it back but I haven't heard from him to see if that was it, but it
sounds like it is possibe this has been done in your case as well.....
