So, are we to assume that ONLY firefox is giving you grief, and no other application? In that case, please check the plugins/extentions installed, create a new user profile and use that for a while and see how it goes. Although in theory, a single application should not have the power to do that (lock your physical I/O). I also assume that you can't try accessing the machine from the network... that would be quite enlightening. -A -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
