I followed up on Mark's suggestion that the video card may be causing
the freeze-up.
I found a new AGP GEForce 6200 card at the local CompUSA store.
I know some of y'all don't like CompUSA/Tiger Direct, but it's a local
store for me so anything I buy
Are all your fans working, and nothing is overheating?
Oh, yeah.
I fixed all those the last time I replaced the power supply. They were
still working good when I had it apart a couple weeks ago to install new
memory. Made sure to vacuum all the dust out of the case then as well.
I think I
Reminds me of the old joke about inheriting great-grandfathers axe.
The head has been replaced twice and the handle has been replaced

part with it.

On keyboards lacking a Windows key, Ctrl+Esc can be used instead.
Ok, in that case the Windoze key wouldn't help. I've tried Ctrl+Esc,

I was going to suggest that, but felt it might be too obvious.
In my new laptop, occasionally it essentially locks the control key as
down, so I can't type in emails. I've googled and googled to find out what the
problem is and evidentially, according to lots of posts in various

Doesn't happen enough to make the machine un-usable, just enough to be
peculiar. There's a lot of computer expertise on the list, so I thought
I'd ask.
It's a problem on the level of Why is the carpet protector creeping

It sounds like it has a high priority task that's not completing.
Usually this doesn't quite crash the GUI but does lock it up. Back when
I was doing SDK development it happened all the time, but then I could
usually deduce which task had gone haywire, since I usually created the
problem.
As soon as you experience some sort of freeze, hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and
click the Task Manager button.
The Task Manager window will open. Click on the Processes tab and
then click the CPU heading (twice). That will sort the list in
descending order by CPU usage. See if you have a process that is

I had similar problems with a Dell laptop that I used to use and I never
found out the cause. It started with some problems on the sound card, and
issues with the fan and overheating. I think the issue was that Windows just
