Default What are your usual longest uptimes before (reboot/shutt)ing down old, updated, 32-bit Windows XP SP3?

It seems after a couple weeks of nonstop uptime (no hibernation and
sleeps too; highest was 22 days!), my very old updated 32-bit
Windows XP Pro SP3 will start misbehaving. I would need to start
exiting stuff because softwares were not responding (Explorer,
SeaMonkey, Trillian, cmd.exe, etc.) correctly. Eventually, this
won't work anymore, and I am forced to reboot.

What about the rest of you guys? Thank you in advance.


I probably have to reboot due to problems every month or 3.


Wow, three/3 months! I wished mine go that high! I assume you used
your daily and a lot?


I use it a lot. Also, it is my DVR, with 3 cable tuners connected and more
digital OTA TV tuners, so it is left on to record any programs I ask it to. It
is connected to my TV for playback, and to my stereo for music playback.
