The problem just occured again. But it doesn't seam to be happening as often.
It seams that McAfee must have simply been a catalyst.

So programs running: On Vista: Cisco VPN Client, Remote Desktop Connection
On Host XP Machine: Outlook, SQL Query Analyzer. The last freeze happened in
Outlook. It has also happened in MyEclipse IDE before.

Background processes in both machines are long lists of things. I'll see if
any are unessessary and remove them from startup.
