I've seen apparent lockups caused by 100% CPU usage during a scheduled virus scan, or a virus scan that kicks in during idle times. Check your AV/AS app to see if you can tune its CPU usage. McAfee enterprise defaults to 100% CPU during scheduled scans, but you can turn that down to just 10% -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
