The Process Explorer DLL list may point something out.

Google says your injected LSP files in the system directory are not likely to blame... there's a high occurrence of crashing with them there. Coincidence is not cause.. but other than that, yeah nothing looks out of the ordinary. It's built into Vista so you can't remove it... are you using the Vista Firewall at all?

Are your disk controllers in the Device Manager showing as in DMA or PIO mode? You need to go to the advanced pane in most controller properties.

We found out in IRC that it was corruption in the .dat files.

ooOOh, reproducible b0rken files are cool too.
