Since you posted this from a machine running thunderbird-2.0.19 running on a
windows box, I don't see where you get the right to ride in here like G. A.
Custer & blame OOo for a windows problem. If you recall he didn't fair too
well at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. :)
If I were you, I would locate a copy of 'memtest86', and put it on a bootable
medium for your machine, a USB key being quite handy if it can boot from a
USB source, boot it up and let it run for a day. If it finds ANY memory
errors, replace the defective memory and then likely go through hell
convincing M$ that all you did was replace some bad memory. WGA is a PIMA,
and the last time I ran into it, a 45 day old copy of XP got replaced by
Ubuntu-8.04 LTS. Throwing away that money didn't bither me a bot. Wasn't
mine, the machine was a gift with a bad psu & I'm now using it for a
sacrificial goat, testing new versions of linux from the various sources.
You also neglected to say what version of OOo you were running, occasionally
valuable to those who try to help.
Let us know please, what memtest86 found.
