crashoverride Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 what type of virus scan did you use... and check and see if there is a new driver... When did the problems start (state that again, please). And do you have system restore on. maybe it could be in a program you recently installed... any of this sort of jump out at you???crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
