Larry I had that problem too when I was using it. If your PC is rather slow (CPU wise and not much memory) that MIGHT have something to do with it. I had it worse on an old slow PC (800mhz and 128mb), but not as bad on my main PC. They were both XP SP2 and on the same LAN. So, it might be a CPU thing since FF does suck the CPU resources. But FAIK it could have something completely different. I tried the tweaks and they didn't help. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes I am on broadband and I checked those settings as I vaguely remember those instruction. Mine have been set that way. So I guess it is something else. I really do not remember having this problem before it has just started in the last couple of months. I have checked if I had installed anything that might change this but nothing comes to mind. Thanks anyway Peter.
