Thanks again for info. I am glad to hear that I am not the only one this happens to . Not that I want other people to have my problem I just dont want to start torturing my pc looking to fix it. I have a sony vaio. I love top of the line stuff with all the bells and whistles that I never seem to use. But I hate paying for services I use the pc for games research and the lists so I dont think its necessary to pay to go 20 seconds faster. Because I am not going any place anyway. looooooooool. thanks again Ema **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
