hey adam, had you added anything to your system before this started?make sure all drivers are up to date,and you have the latest versions of the programs you are running eg:updates. try your ram in another slot or friends pc.try different browser to netscape.try free isp to test your system.if all else fails. reformat and do a clean install.i personally had a lot of problems with netscape so maybe try another internet browser. add software packages as you go so that you can monitor if anything is conflicting and causing this problem.you could try upgrading to win 98se or ME. also try one of the utilities programs such as norton utilities which i have found to work very well when i have had problems. i once had a system with similar problems with frequent errors and lock ups which was caused by the system unknowingly being placed near a main high voltage power box... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp The NOSPIN Group is now offering Free PC Tech support at our newest website: http://freepctech.com
