Paul, Very interesting did not know about the right clicking on my computer and the array of information. The application log has a large number of "Application Hang Errors" starting on 2/27/2010 up to today. A few Google update errors but that basically it. Any way of finding out which application is hanging up. They all say they are category (101) Event 1002 and I have no idea what that is. 73 Pete N4KW
