Thanks for your input. Been trying to work through some of your suggestions,
including defragging my hard drive. Took about 5 hours. I'm funning on an
AMD2400 processor with 1G of RAM. I have two hard drives, a 120G serial and
160IDE. I built the system last year. Windows was corrupted (only showed part
of dialog boxes, with no way to repair) so I reformatted the hard drive and
reinstalled everything. I run a virus scan every night at 4 am, with AVG that
updates every night. I've been running Adaware, Spybot and Spyblaster on my
system. I did run the system check and it came out just fine. We'll see today
if it does the same thing.
Thanks again so very much!
