Just a note if anyone is curious ...
I followed up on Mark's suggestion that the video card may be causing
the freeze-up.
I found a new AGP GEForce 6200 card at the local CompUSA store.
I know some of y'all don't like CompUSA/Tiger Direct, but it's a local
store for me so anything I buy ther

The head has been replaced twice and the handle has been replaced
several times, but it's been in the family for years and we just can't
part with it.

Are all your fans working, and nothing is overheating?
Oh, yeah.
I fixed all those the last time I replaced the power supply. They were
still working good when I had it apart a couple weeks ago to install new
memory. Made sure to vacuum all the dust out of the case then as well.

Can you remap the windows key operation to a function key? I don't even know
if that is possible
but it sounds reasonable, I think.

I was going to suggest that, but felt it might be too obvious.
In my new laptop, occasionally it essentially locks the control key as
down, so I can't type in emails. I've googled and googled to find out what the
problem is and evidentially, according to lots of posts in various
discussion

On keyboards lacking a Windows key, Ctrl+Esc can be used instead.
Ok, in that case the Windoze key wouldn't help. I've tried Ctrl+Esc,
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Break ... all to no effect.

Can you remap the windows key operation to a function key? I don't
even know if that is possible but it sounds reasonable, I think.

The kind of hardcore lock-up you describe usually points toward a
hardware issue of some kind. I suspect the video card first but you
might try swapping our memory modules first (because that's cheaper):

Doesn't happen enough to make the machine un-usable, just enough to be

I'd ask.

I had similar problems with a Dell laptop that I used to use and I never
found out the cause. It started with some problems on the sound card, and
issues with the fan and overheating. I think the issue was that Windows just
became too fat for the machine to support. I did several re-installs, and
