When was the last time the XP machines that are having trouble running jobs were rebooted?

We have to restart our XP machines on a regular basis. No clue what puts them in a bad state exactly. Our theory is it has something to do with the constant creation/deletion of desktops for jobs by Condor. That XP just wasn't designed to handle that kind of log in/log out rate.
