Well whenever Windows XP seriously crashes (duh?) and I reinstall it, the first software I install before I continue with usual work are:
1. Windows XP Service Pack 2
2. Winzip
3. Mozilla Firefox
4. Flashget+DAP
5. Winamp, Windows Media Player 10
6. Add Remove Plus
7. Ad-aware+Spybot S&D
8. Spamihilator
9. Matrix Screen Locker (a desktop lock)
10. United Devices Cancer Research screensaver
11. DivX, Fraunhofer MP3 codec, VirtualDub, MyFlix
12. Isobuster
13. P2P (WinMX, Kazaa Lite, Ares, Soulseek, Shareaza)
14. Usual stuff (Norton Antivirus, Outlook Express configured, 3 popular messengers, TV tuner software, Nero,Acrobat Reader)
After all these are installed, I feel confident enough to continue with usual work.

I think you guys missed two small utilities ...
1. PageDefrag
A small utility which allows to defrag page file during boot..
It will not only ddefrag page file but also try to defrag all system files like hibenate.sys and other files in system32 folder.

2. Anticrash
An utility designed by the makers of Hare.
Meant to detect and avoid crashes.
As expected .. it doesnt detect ALL crashes but is fairly good in detecting them.

Here is my list----------->
Firefox 9 ----------------- The BEST browser
StyleXP ---------------- I liked windowblind but this one cool too.
Ms Office 2003 -------- Whatever else you try you can't get the feel.
QCD player ------------ Winamp is far better but its more usr friendly.
Zone Alarm------------- .....
AVG -------------------- You can't get better AntiVirus at its price (?) .
Adobe Pagemaker 7 -- This one has a spacial place in my PC
iLeap ------------------- Multilingual software
PDF X-chang pro ----- To make PDF files.
System Mechanic------ Windows System Optimiser is better I think!
Virtual Dub -------- Wish it could work on all kind of files!! Still its the best.
Cool Edit Pro -----------Chenge its name after aquired by Adobe (InTune?)
The best audio editor.
Keyman -------------- Type local languages (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, … etc)
directly in MS Office, Notepad etc.
FlashGet ------------------ MassDownloader is better but it’s free......
UltraISO
Warez(P2P)
Nero 6
Winzip/Zipgenius
Dreamweaver MX
Flash MX
SpyBot
WinDVD 5/BS player
One more thing!
Before upgrading to WinXP sp2 in Win98 I used Aston Desktop. I specially liked its two side bars. So in WinXP I tried ObjectDoc (It’s really cool!!). But the programme crashed too often resulting loss of previous settings (It also ate up my precious few RAM). So as a replacement I made two side bars (Auto Hide it to give the effect) using desktop quick launch toolbar.
