    800MHz Pentium III
    32MB All-In-Wonder Radeon
    IBM HDD 36Gig

    Sound Blaster Live! MP3+
    Microsoft Intellimouse Optical

    Was it doing the same thing in Win Me?

    Sounds like a memory issue to me..If ya have some spare RAM laying around swap it out and see if the fixes it.

    "Freezes are Bazaar" yes, they are, I always see them when I go to Macy*s. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Seriously, though, the word you're looking for is "bizarre"
