Same thing happening here. Using latest Norton Internet Security with the apps mentioned in various posts allowed through the firewall.

Sorry I meant I Installed Windows 7 Premium not XP. I was running Windows 8 previously with the same error so I decided to try the old os but with a clean install and still the same crash.
