Glad to hear it. I on the other hand had a whole bunch of freeze ups! Once I realised what it was it's all back to normal.

So................I offer a bit of advice because it has happened before. Two bits of advice really. 1. Don't mess with MSCONFIG - the temptation is to reduce the number of startups at first start - this causes problems. And always make sure your startup is configed to 'Normal Startup.'

2. And the cruncher, and I completely forgot about it, is to ensure that you keep the temp down on your CPU. If it overheats it quite simply freeze frames your pooter and you have to re-start - but occasionally you cant until it cools down - so it is best you make sure all the vents and fans are getting sufficient air circulation. Been a bad pheeeeew days! So there ya go as they say.
