I experienced the same thing today copying a gig of files from my old 95 machine
to my new XP machine. The brown screen was displayed behind the copying files dialog.
I could use alt - tab to switch between programs but not the task bar. After my
copy operation was completed the brown screen remained as an unclosable program in
the alt-tab list and on the task bar. It did not show up in the ctrl-alt-del program
list either. The brown screen did go away after I closed the explorer window on
the XP machine that I was copying the files to.
Yep, very strange.
