I don't have percentages, I use Win98. But yes, I encounter it more frequently now that not only the mouse gets "uncontrollable", but rather the whole screen freezes for a couple of seconds. I put it down to my OS (last reinstall 3 years ago, as I cannot do it alone - all dialogues are in Chinese), and I am split-minded between upgrading to XP Pro or a unix flavour (Xandros or Apple OS-X). MR> Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! No help - just commisery from my side. Opening some folders, or hitting enter when on a message in the message list, causes the same freeze for a couple of seconds. But only on my home system, where TB has been upgraded through releases and beta versions for the last 5 years. No suchs problem in the office, XP Pro with a fresh install of TB, only once upgraded to the current version. Oh, and the folders in the office are as large as the ones at home. -- Cheers, Thomas.
