I have not used Kaspersky lately but I may give them a look again. I have tried Eset Nod32 as well on Windows 7 but this was before official compatibility was around. They are shown as compatible on the Microsoft site now so I may also give them a go around again. I will be looking for that stupid video lag issue. That issue is that about every 3 minutes a small .5 second studder occurs. Took me 2 days to diagnose. Robert Pendell shi...@elite-systems.org "A perfect world is one of chaos."
