WinPooch just locks the machine up so I'll give that a miss. Tried it on
my test image and on a virgin XP Pro box I keep for testing. It's pants.

How could it lock up the machine? Unless it accidentially triggers a local
unprivileged DoS condition, which in turn would mean that you should analyze
the issue and report it to Microsoft.

Find out when and where you've broken your machine.

I have, it was on installation of the Winpooch. Running a number of
Sysinternals tools shows it right up. Process Explorer for one shows it
