I've come across two solutions for common Windows problems that may help.
First, if you always get "an error has occurred in the script on this page" dialog boxes when using Windows Media Player, go into Internet Explorer and clear your temporary files. Not sure why it works, but I have less interest in figuring it out now that those dialogs have stopped.
Second, if you are running ActiveSync and have a device docked, you can probably cure 99% of all Windows problems by unplugging and replugging the device. I can't remember the last time that ActiveSync wasn't responsible for a temporary system hang, loss of Internet connectivity, or other problems. I have no idea what goes into developing ActiveSync, but it apparently involves disabling the user's access to the task list (via Task Manager or tasklist) and putting the kabash on anything that gives it a sideways glance. It's probably the surliest application I've ever used--and I even beta tested Microsoft FightPicker 2006 Super Belligerent Edition.
