Yes Art , i was running Hal and defrag at the same time ( a deeper de frag program ) so that might have indeed been the culprit , hopefully that is all the problem , i'll let others know if i run into any more problems , i have been having problems anyway with my pc .
it has been using the cpu at 50 to 68 fluctuating with 5 web pages open , sometimes it will jump to 100 and stay their locking my pc up ( which is why i was running a de frag program )
so i am not sure if my old pcu is maxed out and i need a faster one in my pc .
