tuppsOhh ya redickulus.. Lovely tone btw. I said how intimidating they can appear to newbies. On C4 big stars and twirlies equalled greater post count which would usually equal greater time spent on the forum posting their views and gaining a 'reputation' and/or maybe a little kudos.

El LoroSounds like there is a faulty driver or device which is malfunctioning. System restore may sort the problem out if it's caused by a faulty driver but not if it's a device. Almost certainly something which needs the laptop being checked by a computer technician. The standard method of working out what the problem is to run the laptop in safe mode to see if it works OK. Then each device is disabled in turn to check if it's that which is causing the problem. I found this on a microsoft page... [ more ]
