Thanks for the suggestion - I tried the first part of it, but it had no
effect. I also tried to use the hardware diagnostic feature of the installed

I was planning to have someone upgrade the processor on this machine in
about a week. I'll probably have him take a look at it if I haven't been
able to fix it before then.
