[QUOTE="HiAmplidude, post: 1349602, member: 561470"] I wonder if you picked up a virus. Could be drivers either corrupt or conflicting, too. This is something not easily diagnosed without being at the machine. Is this XP? If so... Try this: right-click my computer, Manage, click event viewer, then double-click the sub folders in there. See if you see a bunch of stuff with a red X, use the data to determin where the problem area is. If you have access to the Internet, you should also go ahead and hit [URL="http://www.windowsupdate.com"]http://www.windowsupdate.com[/URL] and run "express" until you have no more updates remaining (may have to reboot back into Safe mode with networking and re-run "express" a few times if prompted) If a driver changed, you could also hit F8 during the boot, just before Windows starts to load and select "last known good" from the menu. That doesn't help often though... [/QUOTE]
