PCW USB Drive problems - SP2 related

Hi all
I have a small problem with the PCW USB Pen Drive.
It was working fine until a couple of weeks ago, then my PC started rebooting as soon as windows (XP) loaded. Only once per switch-on though.
after a week of assuming that my PSU had died again I tried removing the drive and no problems for a couple of days. The I tried plugging it in again while the PC was switched on and was rewarded with an instant reset. This happened several times.
I figured out that the problems started after installing SP2, soI tried uninstalling it and everything is fine again.
I was hoping that someone knows the solution to this, or even if anyone else has had the same trouble.
If it's any help I installed the bundled software and use part of the drive as a secure area.
