If you are using Agnitum Outpost Firewall ... try uninstall it a use another firewall. On this new machine, (where XP has been reinstalled from scratch), I'm no longer using AOF, but Kerio. Since then, I don't need to reboot every two days or every half-make-configure. So far, the hyppothesis of a ressource leak in AOF seems accurate.
