Eric,

I use ACDSee Pro on a Windows XP computer and have not encountered any 
of those problems. You must something running in the background that 
somehow collides with it.

One solution for stability that I use is to have my desktop computer 
disconnected from the outside world. I use it for most of my Photoshop 
work (now that I have my Powerbook, I use that too, when I am on the 
road). My surfing is done on a laptop which I keep downstairs. When I 
post images, I just copy the JPEGs to a USB stick, walk downstairs to my 
laptop and upload from there. I stumbled upon this by accident (a couple 
of years I screwed up the network settings in my desktop so badly that I 
was never able to connect it after that), but it works extremely well. 
Now I have at least one computer in the house that I know will never 
have viruses, spyware, adware, and whatnot. Does wonders for stability.
