Lady Annie,
When the Microsoft Error dialog pops up, always answer Ok. Microsoft will send the error log to the Devs which helps them resolve problems.
When the POTC Bug/Error webpage pops up, there is a box showing some text below where you enter your text describing your problem. That text will show what caused the program to stop working. Scroll through it and look towards the end of the text. Look for 'error' or when the client closed. That will describe what problem caused the client program to crash. I don't know how the Mods would feel if you posted the end of the text log here so we can help diagnose your issues??!!
As for Microsoft .Net software, I had to re-install it because I have an ATI video card. When I uninstalled it, cleaned up the drivers with Driver Cleaner, and downloaded the new drivers...my .NET software (which comes with Windows XP) got hosed by the ATI driver installation program. It is a known problem with the ATI Catalyst Driver installation program.

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a software component that can be added to or is included with the Microsoft Windows operating system. It provides a large body of pre-coded solutions to common program requirements, and manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The .NET Framework is a key Microsoft offering, and is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.
The pre-coded solutions that form the framework's class library cover a large range of programming needs in areas including: user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The functions of the class library are used by programmers who combine them with their own code to produce applications.
Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment that manages the program's runtime requirements. This runtime environment, which is also a part of the .NET Framework, is known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR provides the appearance of an application virtual machine, so that programmers need not consider the capabilities of the specific CPU that will execute the program. The CLR also provides other important services such as security mechanisms, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together compose the .NET Framework. The framework is intended to make it easier to develop computer applications and to reduce the vulnerability of applications and computers to security threats.
