You rock. Yes my anti virus and spyware checker are up to date and running so no issues there but I will try the other basic maintenance stuff and see if that helps. I did recently double my physical memory so that could also be an issue as the virtual was never changed. If that doesn’t resolve the issue then I chalk it up to user related idiocy and will delve further into the problem. So far, to be honest it’s been a nuisance more than a problem but still. Thanks a lot! 😀
