I have seen my processor getting busy sometimes 25%-50% on my earlier machine (had a 2GHz Pentium IV with 768MB RAM). In those instances it was some graphic or advertisement (flash/animated-gif) which was the culprit. On the new one, I have had that happen once when the processor was about 20%-30% busy. > Should I follow the procedure which generally is recommended for a > Window$ installation which displays the same symptom -- reinstall the > entire system? I haven't found a reason to reinstall. My current one (unstable!) has been going well even after a hard disk change and full hardware change. /KS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
