This sounds like a video driver issue. Where the system totally locks up while doing anything and only a reboot will bring it back. I suggest you re-evaluate your video card driver, monitor settings and sax2 settings in general. For example, if you are using ATI's fglrx driver, go back to the radeon driver and see if the system is stable. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
