I believe it does lock up even if I don't move the mouse, though I'll want to confirm that when I get home in a bit.

No errors, so I'm definitely more inclined to believe that the impending lockup was causing the NMI error, rather than the other way around :-) Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
