This sounds like the corrupt notebook problem. Here's something I got
from Wolfram:

Hello,

This email is in regards to the corruption problems you were
experiencing recently. A new front end update has become available that
minimizes any possible corruption.

Please try downloading the following Mathematica front end patch.

  http://support.wolfram.com/Systems/Windows/CorruptionPatch/UFE/

This patch replaces the following executable on your hard disk.

C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.0
\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\Binaries\Windows\Mathematica.exe

Because you currently are running Mathematica 4.0.1, please follow the
following instructions at this time.

-----------------------
Please also download the following additional resources.

http://support.wolfram.com/Systems/Windows/CorruptionPatch/AdditionalRes
ources/

These .tr files replace the following files on your hard disk.

C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.0
\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\TextResources\MiscStrings.tr

C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.0
\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\TextResources\ErrorMessages.tr
-----------------------

Once the patch is in place and you have downloaded the additional
resources, please follow these instructions.

 1) Open the Option Inspector
 2) Set the scope to Global
 3) Search for SafeFileOpen
 4) Set the SafeFileOpen option to IgnoreCache
 5) Click the Apply button
 6) Close the Option Inspector

By installing this patch and the additional resources, corruption
should be minimized. Although I cannot guarantee that corruption will
never happen again, this patch should drastically reduce your run-ins
with corrupted notebooks.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Kaliph Hayes
