I've got a feeling ZoneAlarm has something todo with it!

Hmm, I got a slight memory telling me I had some problem upgrading to 
beta3, which made me uninstall the version I was running before that, and 
then did a clean installation of beta3. Before beta3 I was running 
1.6-rc3.

Yes, maybe not directly after installing beta3, but it was weeks since I 
installed beta3, so it has definitly been reboot since then.

Unfortunally I only got a "Minidump", would that be of any help?

It's only 64KB, so I can send it to you in an email if you want it.
