oh nihil btw forgot to say this on the last post... i have a amd 64 processor and a 1.25G of ram so i dont think it is resources issue

i dont have norton go back program... all i have in my possession (with symantec) is that AV
i m only running zone alarm no windows firewall (i believe there is a button in zonealarm that disables windows firewall

well i have not added any new hardware prior to the problem so is it still possible that it is a driver issue?
