Nope unfortunately I have not.

I have shutdown many services in windows xp.

Normally when my ISP's DNS server would fail I would start up BIND PE so I
could run my own DNS server.

But BIND PE returns an error code... it can not write to a certain memory
address. So BIND PE just crashes...

Probably because some windows xp service is not running.. I dont know which
:D
