I am using netzero Platinum, it apparently hogs resources to the place where my computer freezes, and has to be restarted. This happens several times each day. The computer works fine when I am not on line. It is a amd 1,400, 256mb, 9.3 hd Resources fall to less than 40%. Has anyone had a similar problem? And if so is there any help for it? If not, any suggestions to fix the problem will be appreciated. Jim Prettyman [log in to unmask] "Hold No Punches.."
