Thanks everyone... I ran a defrag yest and so far, it seems better today.

I also have a "key rotation" on my laptop to prevent anyone from borrowing my wireless or hacking into it and that was having trouble rotating, so I reconfigured that and it is now working at 100%. Not like anyone could tap into mine, as I live on a major hwy. It's amazing what you can learn when you just sit and try to figure things out...

No viruses, defragged, dumped cookies, closed all programs... seems to be better.... I may take your offers up if it acts up again..

thanks friends.
