yes it's an i7 core with 4GB RAM & 1TB HDD as I do quite a bit of video editing & other load-intensive work on it... a $500 pc couldn't cope with my workload, so I can't afford to retire it just yet. Thanks for your Safemode suggestion I'll check them out. cheers, Meryl -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
