Hmmm... those errors really suck. A long time ago I used to get those a lot, and it was due to corrupted AO files. The error did say which file was the problem, though (things like kr.dll), and I think I got some friends to email me the their copy of the file.
But if it's just a general crash error, it might be harder to track down.
Hmm...I think a hard drive wipe and new OS are in the very near future anyways...this WinME thing started out okay but has been steadily degrading. >.<
