[AccessD] Windows XP - Access closes unexpectedly

Have any of you seen Access close unexpectedly on Windows XP machines?  My
client has a mix of Win98 / Win2K and WinXP machines.  EVERY machine with
WinXP is reporting the app just shutting down, no warning, no nothing.  NONE
of the non-XP machines reports this.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=320299

reports this problem, but with an error message.  My client DOES have some
sort of network issues, all the machines (users) have, at one time or
another reported the old "disk or network error" meaning they lost
connection to the server briefly.  In Windows98/2k you just continue on.  It
would seem that in Windows XP the OS itself will terminate Access when this
happens.  A tad RUDE don't you think?

Anyone else seeing this?
