Hi
Thanks for the reply. I am looking into your suggestion, and I think you maybe right. However, how come it only freezes/hangs when dealing with IE or OE or dial up issues?? I would have thought video card snags would be apparent at any time! Any suggestions as to the right video card?? I do not have £300.00 to spend however!1 Matty "Pepperoni" wrote in message ...

hey good call pepper,, OP get rid of ' Norton System Worse' there are very few home
systems users that need something like that to maintain their machines. Get a free Av (AVG is my preference) and be done....add to that ' spybot S&D ' and ' Highjackthis ' (both free) and your system will be ready for just about anything. AVG being the only thing that needs to run in the background. "Pepperoni" wrote in message ...
