Hey, there is one more thing you could check. Something like this used to happen to me when i ran firestarter on KDE startup...
when the machine starts getting slow, run KPM, i'm pretty sure you will find one single process taking 98% of the CPU cycles. ( in my case it was a mysterious second instance of firestarter appearing from nowhere ) can you check that out? see ya :o) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
