Thanks so much for answering! My computer does use XP home and has 512 MB of 
Ram.

I did have a lot of photos being used as a slide show for a screen saver. I 
did change that since having this problem. I just use the XP thing.

The computer does seem to be workin a bit faster. I haven't gotten up the 
nerve to shut it off tho'! It's been on for 3 days.

Thanks again.
