More importantly, I would figure out what's crashing the computer and fix
that.

From the Symantec website:

WinFax PRO 10.02 and WinFax Basic Edition 10.02 are supported under
Windows XP and with Office XP.
WinFax PRO 10.0 and WinFax Basic Edition 10.0 are not supported under
Windows XP.

Could this be what is crashing the PC ?

As for automatically logging on, you can, but that user will always be
logged on every time the computer starts.

Goto Start Menu -> Run -> Type in: control userpasswords2
Then press return. There's a checkbox at the top that is checked. It says
require users to enter a password. If you uncheck that it will then ask
for what user profile to use.
