I am guessing that you have at least one bad memory stick in the computer. I would run memtest or equivalent on the system and see what you get as a report. Bad ram can cause funny problems. If one stick shows up as bad you could try the pencil eraser as a cleaner on the contacts and stick it back in. I had some bad ram once and windows reported all of it there but memtest said the stick in the second slot was bad, I cleaned it and then it reported back as good, well mostly. Anyway that's my hunch for what it is worth. > Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
