If you are using Agnitum Outpost Firewall ... try uninstall it a use
another firewall.
On this new machine, (where XP has been reinstalled from scratch), I'm
no longer using AOF, but Kerio. Since then, I don't need to reboot every
two days or every half-make-configure.
So far, the hyppothesis of a ressource leak in AOF seems accurate.

HTH.
