Nope, but the problem seems to have gone away for now. It seems to happen every few months and I would really like to track it down. Usually if I let the machine sleep(turn it off) for a night, it is all better the next morning. I just find it really weird and annoying and would like to figure out why it is doing it. Maybe its just something weird about my hardware. Thanks anyway. -- Scott Henson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
