Yeah, XP can be made pretty rock solid.  Once everything's set up, you can leave it as is.

You know you can turn off auto-updates right?  Do you even need it connected to the net?  Cutting that off can simplify things.

yea I guess I don't really maintain it or anything.    I just hit the power button I wired from the PC to the outside of my cab and it boots directly into Maximus arcade.  Randomly though the games will start to just not work.  I haven't figured out why.  I'll put a fresh .zip of Mvsc and after about a month it will start to say files are missing and I'll have to re-download it.

Bad hard drive?  Shaking it around with a subwoofer or something?  Haha.  Buy a solid state drive.

Trojan or spybot?  Disconnect the Internet as suggested would be my first thought.  See if it still has trouble.

My mame cabinet is running on an XP install that I installed in 2006. It isn't connected to the internet. I haven't updated anything on it and it has given me zero problems in the last 6 years.
