Let me restate the situation. Scrolling a window *never* affects music, because music playback, being interrupt-driven, pre-empts the currently running task. This is why if your music player app is too heavy (like iTunes), the whole machine starts to crawl - applications are being forced off the CPU by the OS in favour of the music task from the interrupt system. There should never be any hiccups involving music vs. other tasks unless some process actually switches off interrupts (like MacsBug) or perhaps itself runs at interrupt level and stops other interrupts from running. This is why I can't determine any reason for the issue, and thus wonder what the network driver is doing to the machine. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
